Required Forms for 16 and 17 year old Students
You must be at least sixteen years old to enroll. If you are under eighteen years old, you must complete a student release form and the Leon’s Law Student form. Both forms must be completed prior to orientation and must be turned in on the student’s orientation date.
Information for Parents
Leon’s Law permits colleges to share education records with a student’s parent or guardian without the student’s consent, provided the student is under 18 and claimed as a dependent on your federal income tax return. However, before any information can be released, colleges must have documentation on file verifying that relationship. To request access to your child’s education records under Leon’s Law, you must complete the Parent Certification Form and bring it to the College along with a copy of a valid photo ID. Records will only be shared once dependency status and identity are confirmed per college policy.
