FERPA and Financial Aid The student’s financial aid record is a closed record and cannot be released to a third party, even with a signature. For specific information about a student record, the student must be present. The Financial Aid Office can answer many questions in a general manner to assist families with understanding the financial aid process, but details must be communicated through the student.
