If a student or third party provides a signed form to the DOS office without a DOS staff member signature, a DOS staff member will call the student to confirm the validity of the form prior to honoring it.
Forms requiring a student signature can be signed in person with a DOS staff member (preferred), dropped off in person at Knight Hall 128, emailed as a scanned attachedment to dos@uwyo.edu, or faxed to the Dean of Students Office at 307-766-3298.
The 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law (20 USC 1232g) that protects the privacy of a student’s educational records. FERPA applies to all educational institutions receiving funds from the United States Department of Education, from kindergarten through university level. Under FERPA, the Dean of Students Office may not share the contents of a student’s education record with anyone other than the student unless the student provides written consent to do so, or under a recognized exception.
Exceptions under FERPA include, but are not limited to, a health or safety emergency or an educational need to know.
A student who is working with the DOS office and is wishing to release some or all of their DOS educational record to another person, or a student wishing to allow DOS to communicate with another person regarding that student's interactions with DOS and/or that student's academics, must sign a release with DOS. Please email dos@uwyo.edu to request the FEPRA release form.
