FERPA affords students the right to inspect and review their educational records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from the records. 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 informs students of the data designated as public information 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, and full- time/part-time status. Copies of the entire policy or information about specific procedures may be obtained from the Registrar's Office.

There is no fee for this service. • Transcript requests may be made by mail or fax (no phone or e- mail requests) and should include the student's name, social security number, birth date, student's signature and complete address where the transcript should be sent.

Courses coded AR (academic renewal) and RP (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).
