5 Hampton University Hampton, Virginia O F F I C E O F T H E U N I V E R S I T Y R E G I S T R A R ( ) Dear Parents: I am sure that you are proud that your son or daughter is going off to college. You are probably curious, too, about the new life, and the experiences at Hampton University that will unfold. One experience that often raises questions is how to secure your student s grades. To make this experience more meaningful to you, we have prepared the following information. Under the United States Family Educational Rights Act of 1974, the student must authorize, in writing, the release of any part of his records including his/her grades. This U. S. law makes allowances for certain government entities and parents of a student, who have established that student s status as a dependent, according to the Internal Revenue Code. We must abide by that law. In order to do so, while meeting the desires of parents, should your student need a second copy of his/her grades, he/she can complete an authorization form, located in this packet, or in the Registrar s Office. We shall mail grades automatically, based upon the next of kin address that the student provides, after we have received authorization. Your student may also order transcripts of his/her academic record, with grades, at any time he/she chooses. The current fee is $10.00 per transcript. Hopefully, this information will be beneficial to you and your son or daughter, and this information will also help to eliminate some of the stress that may occur while in attendance at the university. If I may be of further assistance in regards to your student s academic or registration records, please contact me. Sincerely, Jorsene S. Cooper University Registrar
