Submit a FERPA form

The FERPA release form allows the Early College Advisor and High School Connections Office to communicate with people you have chosen about your Lane account and academics. LCC cannot release student information to anyone without a signed FERPA from students due to the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
This release is meant to help with your success at Lane. We recommend a release. 
 
Tips for the FERPA Form:
  • If you are being sponsored by your high school, please list your high school's name; not a person
  • Make it valid until you graduate high school
  • This form cannot be filled out by the parent
  • Upload a picture ID (student body card, permit, driver's license accepted)
  • Please release information about Academics and Student Accounts.

You will need your L Number and myLane password to log into the form.
