Can a post-secondary institution disclose student marks and attendance to a funding agency?
• Only if the student consents to the disclosure. Generally the lending agency (i.e. Students Finance Board) obtains the student’s consent in writing to disclose certain personal information such as marks and attendance with the institution the student will be attending at the time of application for funding by the student. • Sometimes post-secondary institutions are under contract with federal agencies (i.e. Employment Insurance) to provide training to certain individuals. In such cases the funding agency generally makes it a condition of lending that in order for the individual to be fully funded throughout the term of the program, they must meet certain requirements such as attend class regularly, maintain a passing grade etc., and in these cases the student signs a consent allowing for the institution to disclose the marks and attendance to the agency.
