Seattle Promise Privacy Preference Form 

Welcome! This form allows you to manage your privacy preferences for your student information within the Seattle Promise program. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that gives you control over who sees your educational records. By filling out this form, you're telling us how you'd like your information shared to help you access valuable benefits and support services, like ORCA cards, scholarships, and internships. You can update your choices at any time.  

Please note: The preferences you set here are specifically for information shared through the Seattle Promise program. This is separate from any FERPA preferences or releases you may have with your individual college (e.g., North Seattle, Seattle Central, or South Seattle College). Your college's FERPA policies and any releases you've completed directly with them will always take precedence for your overall college records.

Your Information Sharing Choices

Check all that you're okay with. You can update your choices at any time. 

I give permission to share my name, month and year of birth, preferred email, college, enrollment, and Seattle Promise status with partners like Seattle Department of Transportation (for an ORCA card), Seattle Youth Employment Program (for internships), and colleges/universities (for transfer and scholarship help) where I might directly benefit. 

By giving us permission, we can share my name, month and year of birth, high school, Seattle Promise status, academic program, enrollment status, credits earned, and information provided on your Seattle Promise application with my high school, community-based supporters, or transfer partners. This helps them guide me through steps like applying for college, taking placement tests, finishing financial aid, attending Seattle Promise events, registering for classes, and transferring to a 4-year college to earn my bachelor’s degree. 

I give permission for Seattle Promise to report to my high school about how I’m doing in college including my name, high school, academic program, enrollment status, how many credits I’ve taken, and when I earn a credential. This allows them to improve support for future students including earning college credit for high school classes. 

I do not give permission for Seattle Colleges to share any of my student-protected information through the Seattle Promise program. I understand that I will not receive an ORCA card, internships, and scholarships at 4-year transfer institutions through Seattle Promise partnerships.
