Parent Access to Student Academic Records

Parents of a dependent student may have access to grades and other confidential academic information under the guidelines provided in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (also known as the Buckley Amendment) .  Access to this information is limited to parents who claim their student as an exemption on their federal income tax return.  Requests for specific grade or other academic information can be addressed to the Office of Academic Records, University of Oklahoma, 1000 Asp Avenue, Room 330, Norman, OK  73019-4076.  Each request must include a copy of the top portion of the parents’ most recent tax return, showing the student’s name and social security number listed as a dependent.  Academic information can also be obtained by providing the Office of Academic Records with written consent of the student.  If you have any questions concerning this policy, please contact the Office of Academic Records at the above address or by calling 405-325- 4147.
