The law generally requires that written consent of the student be received before personally identifiable data about the student is released. Institutions may release, without written consent, those items specified as public or directory information, provided the institution inf orms students of the data designated as public inf ormation and gives students prior opportunity to refuse disclosure of any or all categories of that information. Directory information at Weber State University is currently specified to include name, address, telephone number, major (program of study), dates of attendance, degree(s) received, full-time/part-time status, date of birth and honors received. A student may have their public or directory information made confidential by submitting a written request to the Registrar's Office. If a student feels that information other than directory information has been made public in violation of this act, they may contact the Registrar's Office to file a formal grievance. Copies of the entire policy or information about specific procedures may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Transcripts Students may obtain official copies of their academic transcripts from the Records Office. There is no charge (fee) for this service. • Transcripts picked up in person require photo identification. • Transcript requests may be made by mail, fax, or your Wildcat Mail e-mail address (telephone requests cannot be accepted) and should include the student's name, social security number or WSU student ID number, birth date, student's signature and complete address where the transcript should be sent. • Transcript requests by anyone other than the student must be accompanied by a written release from the student that includes: o A sentence stating that you have given your consent to a friend or a relative to pick up your transcript, o The name of your friend or relative that will be retrieving your transcript, o Your full name and any prior names, o Your Social Security Number or Student ID Number and birth date, o Your approximate dates of enrollment, o Your signature.

Courses coded with an R in front of the grade (indicating academic renewal), or an E in the far right column of the form (indicating exclusion due to a repeat), are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours, or the total hours completed. Courses coded ND (non-degree) are not used in computing the GPA or the graduation hours completed, but they are included in computing the total hours completed. Courses with the following notations in the grade column are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours, or the total hours completed (with the exception of CR-Credit courses which may be used toward graduation hours or total hours).
