FERPA/Privacy Policy

Student Privacy Rights

We understand the tremendous importance of the role parents and other supportive family members play in the lives and success of our students. Our students tell us that parents and family are one of the biggest influencers on both their decisions to attend 澳门葡京网赌送彩金, and in their ultimate success as a Blugold. With that understanding in mind, we strive daily to equip those vital supporters with the information they need to best help their students reach their goals, while maintaining legal privacy rights.

Student and families should become familiar with the laws related to these privacy matters, which are known as FERPA - the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.

Students should also have a good understanding of the campus statement of privacy matters called Your Rights as a Student (PDF).

As a campus resource, we have a FERPA brochure available. The FERPA brochure is a tool to educate the campus community regarding student privacy rights and responsibilities.

Third party access to your information

Sometimes students are alarmed to find out that their campus email may be obtained by outside organizations, especially in election years. While it might be irritating, it has everything to do with public colleges and open records laws. UW-Eau Claire must provide contact information to third parties if they request it. Not too many organizations take the time to make that official request, but it happens on occasion. If you wish to limit the information you receive from third parties, learn how to manage your information.

UW-Eau Claire Statement on Confidentiality and the Use of Student Records

Electronic technology enables the University to provide expanded information services to students and faculty. The accessibility of this information necessitates an understanding of and adherence to Federal, State, and University rules and policies on the confidentiality and use of student records by users. The University will take prompt remedial or disciplinary action against individuals who are found to have violated this policy. This statement encompasses rules and practices under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley), the Wisconsin Open Records Act, the UW-Eau Claire Student Records Policy, and prohibits unauthorized disclosure or alteration of student information or records and misuse of computer access.

Parents and other support networks

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire understands the important role that parents and guardians play in the lives and success of our students, and we work hard to respond to concerns, questions and suggestions. Within the limits of UW System policy, federal and state laws, we will share all the information we can. This includes the ways in which students are able to grant further access to parents and guardians for levels of information protected by privacy laws.

Rights and responsibilities

While parents understandably have a vested interest in the academic, financial and personal lives of their Blugold students, these adult students have legally granted privacy rights that prevail in all of our campus procedures and processes. From grades and schedules to billing and payment information, these records belong to the student and the student alone, which can be tough to swallow as the parent who may be paying the bill for this education — we get it.

While these are the laws, it simply means that in order to gain access to online or other information about these topics, students must complete the process of granting official access to the designated individuals by completing the delegated access process.

Grades, schedules, and transcripts

Grades and schedules will be available to view in CampS. Here you'll also be able to request a transcript.  If your parents are interested in obtaining access to view your grades, please complete the delegated access process.

Billing statements

Blugold Central oversees the billing of tuition and fees. Email notifications will be sent to view billing information in CampS.

Enrollment verificatioin

Frequently parents are required to provide information to an insurance company as proof of enrollment or academic status.

Students can obtain enrollment verification at no charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through National Student Clearinghouse. Students can go to MyBlugold CampS, select Student Center and then My Academics. On the My Academics page select the link for an Enrollment Verification and follow the instructions from there. This service is provided free of charge to 澳门葡京网赌送彩金 students through the National Student Clearinghouse. We are unable to verify future dates of enrollment.

If for some reason the form provided via MyBlugold is not adequate for the verification you need, please contact Blugold Central at 715-836-3000 to obtain this information or send an email to verifications@weforevervip.com. Often, the insurance company requires a form to be completed and then forwarded. These forms should be mailed to the Blugold Central:

Blugold Central
Attn: Verifications
105 Garfield Ave.
Eau Claire, WI 54701

Special circumstances and emergencies 

When special circumstances or emergencies require reaching a student, contact the Dean of Students Office at 715-836-5626.

Parent and Guest Access

Students have the ability to grant permission for a parent or guest to access specific student account information including contact information, emergency contacts, bills, financial aid, grades, holds, and to do lists. A student may revoke access to a parent/guest at any time, without notice to the parent/guest.

Share Access to Your Student Account

Give your parent/guardian or other trusted person delegated access to your 澳门葡京网赌送彩金 CampS student account.
