Requesting Information on Your Student

In many circumstances, the federal law known as FERPA prevents educational institutions from releasing information about students to anyone, even their parents. We encourage you to keep informed about your son's/daughter's study abroad program by talking directly with him/her about it, and by browsing the resources available on this site.
