- Records returned to the provider or creator of the information
- Educational institutions where the student plans to enroll or transfer
- Judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoena
- Any records included under the directory information unless they have been restricted by the student
- Parents if the students are Federal IRS dependents; proof of dependency is required
- Third parties with written agreement in conjunction with the evaluation of federal or state supported educational programs

Can I grant Different
Levels of Access?
Yes. There are several different levels of electronic access you can grant to others. Each level is independent of each other meaning you can grant access to one level, any combination of levels, or all levels based on the situation.
Student Accounts
This allows access to on-line bill payment, bills, account activity, payment history, and 1098T Forms.
Student Records
This allows access to the student’s class schedule and final grades.
Personal Information
This allows access to view addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Financial Aid
This allows access to view financial aid and MyRED to-do lists.
We understand that a parent or guest may need to access your student account information through MyRED. You have the ability to grant this access to them directly. This allows your parent or guest to see the same information as you. Follow this guide.
