Disclosure of Student Education Records
As a general rule, the University will not release student education records to a third party without written consent of the student.

Directory information is defined as student’s name, address, telephone number, place of birth, major field of studies, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational institution attended by the student. The complete University policy on student education records and the location of such records may be found in the Washington Administrative Code under WAC 478-140. Manuals containing the Code are available at Reference Stations on campus and at the Visitors Information Center, 4014 University Way N.E. The policy covers such items as accessibility, review and expunging of inaccurate records and costs to be charged for copies of student records.
