Log into myNU and click on FERPA to determine whether a current student has indicated that academic information can be released to a specific person. If no FERPA waiver is present, suggest that the person have a conversation with the student to see if the student would be willing to add them to the myNU waiver. In the case of parents/guardians of dependant students, please refer the inquiring parties to the Records Office (716) 286-8730 or the University General Counsel (716) 286-8384 to verify their dependent status.
