Releasing Your Records
If you'd like your parents, your spouse, or others to access your student records, you must give Bethel permission by providing a release of information.
Provide a release of information
Requesting to View Your Own Records
Under FERPA, students have the right to inspect their education records upon written request. Students who would like to view a copy of their education records can submit a request. Students who want to release a portion of their education records to a third party can review more information about transcripts, enrollment and degree verifications.
Requesting to Amend or Remove Student Education Records
Students should submit a request to amend or remove parts of their student education record if they want to change their records. The form can be downloaded, completed, signed, scanned and returned to the Office of the Registrar.
