A Waiver of Confidentiality for Educational Records from a College or University is a document signed by a student that allows the college or university to release the student's educational records to parties other than the student. The waiver typically includes the student's name, the school's name, and the name and contact information of the recipient of the records. Waivers of Confidentiality for Educational Records typically include the student's consent to the release of specific educational records, such as transcripts, test scores, and grades. There are two main types of Waiver of Confidentiality for Educational Records from a College or University: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary Waiver of Confidentiality for Educational Records is a document signed by the student that grants permission for the school to release certain educational records to a third party. An involuntary Waiver of Confidentiality for Educational Records is a document signed by the school, not the student, that releases educational records to a third party without the student's permission.
