FERPA is a federal law that gives you certain rights with respect to your education records.
One of the rights FERPA gives you is the right to consent to disclosure of personally
identifiable information included in your education records. This law is why UT is required to
obtain your consent so that your parent or guardian can view your financial record to make
payments to your account. An explanation of how you can grant someone consent can be
found here.

Do you know what do if a train car or tanker truck
carrying chemicals spills its dangerous contents near campus? Is it safer to evacuate or
shelter? Where would you shelter? While this is an unlikely event, we need to be prepared.
Cooperation by the campus community will play a large part in how successful our response
is to the incident. Answers can be found on the emergency preparedness website.
