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, 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 Registrar's Solution Center. There is a $5.00 charge for this service. For students who attended prior to Summer 2010, four fee-free transcripts will be provided if the request is made in person, mail, or fax. • Transcripts picked up in person require photo identification. • Transcript requests may be made by mail, fax, or online atwww.weber.edu/records, (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: A sentence stating that you have given your consent to a friend or a relative to pick up your transcript.
