FERPA
For Students, Parents & Families, and Faculty & Staff
The Red Raider Family Network
Texas Tech students can authorize access to their educational records through the
Red Raider Family Network. This platform offers an electronic FERPA authorization, streamlining the process
for requesting access to a student's academic and financial information. Parents and
family members can easily submit a request and the student will decide which records
to share. Additionally, the Red Raider Family Network serves as a valuable connection for parents and family members to stay informed about
important Texas Tech news and events.

Education Records
Education records are any records that contain information directly related to a student and are maintained by an educational agency or institution, or by a party acting on its behalf. This includes any information recorded in any way, including handwriting, print, tape, film, microfilm, microfiche, and digital images.
Educational records do not include the following:
- Sole possession records: Records kept in the sole possession of the maker which are used only as a personal memory aid and are not accessible or reviewed by any other person except a temporary substitute for the maker of the record
- Medical or psychological treatment records: Include those maintained by physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists
- Employment records: provided that employment is not contingent upon being a student
- Law enforcement records; and records collected about an individual after that person is no longer a student at Texas Tech
