University of Colorado Denver: Can parents access a college student's education records if the student is our tax dependent?
DIRECT ANSWER
Yes, FERPA permits CU Denver to disclose education records to a parent who claims the student as a federal tax dependent, although disclosure is permitted rather than required.
FERPA's tax-dependent exception allows a postsecondary institution to disclose records to a qualifying parent without student consent. CU Denver may require documentation.
