Requests for student records may be made through the Registrar’s Office for educational purposes, by WSU departments and certain non-WSU entities. Requests for data that can be fulfilled within the department, college or division using the student data warehouse should be done by that unit. Requests that cannot be fulfilled internally by a department, or those being requested from outside WSU, can be made to the Registrar’s Office using this form.

Confidential Student Information

Non-directory, or confidential student record information will only be released based on legitimate educational interest within WSU, and in limited cases outside the institution, such as educational assessments and approved research.

Education Records

Access of education records for personal interests is strictly prohibited. Education records can be released to some organizations conducting studies and for legitimate academic research provided that:

• The procedures utilized and the reported findings do not violate the student's confidence;
• Students' names will not be included in the study or in any way linked with the data;
• Case histories and case records are sufficiently disguised to prevent identification of the individuals
  involved;
• The student's written permission is obtained where individual identification occurs; and
• Such information will be destroyed when no longer needed for the purposes for which it was provided.

Graduate Student Information

To request graduate student information please contact Scott Avery, Director, Data Management and Assessment, Graduate School, 335-6412.
