Educational Information
Workday is a service that allows UF students to access their education records, financial aid information, and financial activity online. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), parents/guardians, also known as third parties, must receive access permission from their student before they can view certain information, including grades, current classes, financial account activity, financial aid package, and student financial statement. Third parties can pay tuition bills based on access permission granted by the student.

You are not required to grant access to your records, but Workday makes it convenient if you wish to do so.
