Our Best Answer - Can I access my student's financial aid information?

Student's Financial Aid Information

The confidentiality of student Financial Aid information is protected in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 and UC Santa Barbara Policy and Procedure “Student Education Records – Disclosure of Information” issued March 2004 (available from the UCSB Registrar).

Providing access to student Financial Aid records or information contained in these records to unauthorized persons is also prohibited. Your student’s information cannot be disclosed to third parties (parent, spouse, sibling, friend, landlord, associate, etc.) without their express written consent.

If your student wishes to grant access to you or another third party, he/she must release consent. This process is done through the student log in, My Aid Status, on the financial aid website.
