Requests for student record information to be used for educational purposes by WSU Vancouver departments and certain non-WSU entities may be made through the Office of Student Affairs and Enrollment.
Before submitting a data request, please check to see if the information is already available in RONet or through Institutional Research.
Washington State University may release student directory information to WSU administrative departments, outside entities conducting research, as well as to student groups (RSOs) and certain other groups.
Directory information includes the following:
name (including former name); local and permanent addresses; telephone numbers; email addresses; major and minor fields of study; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; dates of attendance; enrollment status (e.g., undergraduate, graduate; full-time or part-time); grade level; status as graduate assistant and assignment; degrees, certificates, and awards received, including the President’s Honor Roll; most recent previous educational institution attended
Non-directory or confidential student record information will only be released based on legitimate educational interest within WSU and in limited cases outside the institution for purposes such as educational assessments and approved research.
Access of education records for personal interests is strictly prohibited.
Education records can be released to some organizations conducting studies and for legitimate academic research provided that—
- The procedures utilized and the reported findings do not violate the student’s confidence;
- Students’ names will not be included in the study or in any way linked with the data;
- Case histories and case records are sufficiently disguised to prevent identification of the individuals involved;
- The student’s written permission is obtained where individual identification occurs; and
- Such information will be destroyed when no longer needed for the purposes for which it was provided.
