Request Services

A request for release of information pertaining to a student’s academic record is to be submitted in writing. To protect the confidentiality of your record, Federal law requires your signed consent to release information.

Not even a parent may receive information pertaining to your academic record without your signed release (Federal Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 -Buckley Amendment). That is why no phone, email, or third party requests can be accepted.

A written request is to include your signature, name, any former names, Student ID number or Social Security number, and the year that you last attended SUNY Upstate Medical University. The request should also include instructions as to what is needed from our office and to where, and how the item or information is to be sent. You may complete and submit our REQUEST FORM , a third party’s request form, or your own handwritten, typewritten, or electronically created letter. Please remember that your signature is required on the written request before you send it by one of the methods listed below.
