Per the Office of the Registrar (Office of the Registrar):

  • All FERPA presentations are general in nature. Compliance is very important. Faculty members are encouraged to seek guidance on specific issues by contacting the Registrar's Office.
  • For official university business, only an official Pepperdine University email message (e.g. firstname.lastname@pepperdine.edu) is considered acceptable.  Students should be instructed to only submit requests via their official Pepperdine University email account.
  • The Office of the Registrar (Office of the Registrar) has a mechanism to verify whether a parent is indeed the parent of a given student and to what information (if any) the student has granted access for the parent.  Faculty members should first check with Office of the Registrar before releasing any information to a parent.
