International Admissions Forms

Authorization to Release Information-Graduate Students

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of your student education records and limits the University's ability to release information about your student account.

In accordance with FERPA, Cal State San Bernardino cannot release information related to your academic records, tuition and fees, financial aid, billing, or other student record information to a third party—including parents, spouses, sponsors, or other individuals—without your written authorization.

If you would like the International Admissions Office to discuss your student record with a parent, spouse, sponsor, or another designated individual, please complete the FERPA Authorization form below.

Completed form should be emailed to international@csusb.edu.
