Disclosures to the Clearinghouse: FERPA (20 U.S.C. §1232g) allows educational agencies and institutions to disclose non-directory information without prior written consent when the disclosure is in connection with financial aid which the student has applied for or has received if the information is necessary for purposes such as determining eligibility, amount, and conditions for the aid, or enforcing the terms and conditions of the aid. 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(4). Accordingly, a Requesting Institution may provide a student’s SSN, and the Clearinghouse may disclose SSNs and other non-directory information on behalf of Participating Institutions, when the disclosure is in connection with the student's receipt of financial aid. This screen may be used to obtain enrollment information if the student has applied for or received any form of financial aid from the institution, whether the aid is from Federal, State, local, not-for-profit, private, or institutional sources. Examples of acceptable purposes for your inquiry regarding a student’s enrollment include determining grant, loan, or scholarship eligibility; determining loan repayment deferment status, or eligibility for deferment status; verification and challenge of institutional cohort default rates. This inquiry screen may not be used for students who have not applied for or received financial aid. |
