FERPA Disclosure

Dear,

We are sending you an important notification regarding your privacy rights under FERPA. It is very important that you read this email.

Each year, UWM is required to notify students of their rights under FERPA, which is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. FERPA provides students the following rights:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records;
2. The right to request amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes
   are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA;
3. The right to provide written consent to disclosure of those records, subject to exceptions; and
4. The right to opt out of making directory information available without consent; and
5. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failure by
   UWM to comply with the requirements of FERPA

For more details about each of these rights, please refer to the full Annual Notification to Students
available on the Registrar’s Office website. A paper copy will be provided upon request by contacting
the Registrar’s Office at www.contactro.uwm.edu or 414-229-3800.
