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# or SS # and the year that you last attended SUNY Upstate Medical University. Also it should include instructions as to what is needed from our office and to where the information is to be sent. You may complete and submit our REQUEST FORM
, a third party’s request form, or your own written or electronically created letter.
