What Is It?

In compliance with theÌýFamily Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder is committed to protecting your education record by limiting disclosure of your personal (non-directory) information.

If you need to contact Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØabout your student record, we'll ask you to verify your identity by either showing us your photo ID or by stating your established security passphrase. If you haven't set a passphrase, you’ll be asked to do so before we can disclose any information.

The security passphrase is intended to protect your privacy, so don't share it with anyone. If you want a third party (e.g., a parent or guardian) to have access to your record, you'll need to establish Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØguest access and/orÌýcomplete a FERPA consent to releaseÌýfor them.

Passphrase Guidelines

Your passphrase can be up to 50 alphabetical characters (numbers, symbols and special characters are not accepted), and should be easy to rememberÌýbut difficult to guess.

To foster a safe and welcoming campus environment, please do not use lewd, intimidating, abusive or threatening language in your passphrase. If you do, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØstaff have the right to refuse service and refer you to the Office of Student Conduct.
