This is from our transcript/verification coordinator, Susan:
If the student was born after Dec 11, 1910, we would require a death certificate to show that the student is deceased. If deceased, then anyone can have a copy of the records as we are no longer under FERPA.
If the individual is still alive, FERPA restrictions apply and only they can access their records.
Thanks,
Susan May

Subject: Genealogy Searches
I think we’ve discussed this before but I can’t locate the chain in my files for the conversation. So here we go again (maybe)
What do you require outside people do or submit when they are requesting information and/or documents to support genealogy searches?
Thanks for your thoughts.
