Information for Parents
Access to Student Records--
While parents understandably have an interest in a student's academic progress, they cannot
be granted access to a student's records without written consent of the student. Parents
are encouraged to consult with the student if academic information is needed. Please see
the Privacy of Student Records and FERPA page for a thorough
explanation of the Federal law pertaining to the access of student records.
A student may give permission for a third party to access his/her records by filing a Student Information Release Authorization (printable Word document).
Grades, Schedules, and Transcripts--
Grades and schedules are automatically mailed electronically each term
to the student's UW-Eau Claire email account. Students may choose to
forward this information on to their parents. Transcripts,
as well as degree audits, require the student's written signature to be released. Students
may choose to have a transcript mailed to their parent's address. We
encourage parents to consult with the student if academic information is needed.
Billing Statements--
The Business Office oversees the billing
of tuition and fees. Parents should contact that office at
715-836-5285 if information on payment deadlines is needed.
Family Timeline: Information
for Student's Families--
Throughout the year correspondence is mailed to the families of UW-Eau Claire students.
Verification for Insurance Purposes--
Frequently parents need to provide information to an insurance company
as proof of enrollment or academic status. Contact the Verifications section
of the Registrar's office at 715-836-3839 to obtain this information or send
an email to veterans@uwec.edu. Often,
the insurance company requires a form to be completed and then forwarded.
These forms should be mailed to the Verifications office:
UW-Eau Claire Registrar's Office
Attn: Verifications
105 Garfield Ave.
Eau Claire, WI 54701
Office of Student Development and Diversity--
When special circumstances or emergencies require reaching a student,
contact the Office of Student Development and Diversity at
715-836-5626.
