Guest Accounts on MyUI
A University of Iowa student can create guest accounts on MyUI. The ability to view information in MyUI through a guest account does not constitute a waiver of FERPA restrictions. Guest users are not allowed to discuss information viewed through a guest account with University officials without an Academic Record Consent Form on file as referenced above. Guest MyUI accounts (including resetting passwords) are under sole the control of the student. With a guest account, students can provide view-only access to any or all of the following pages:
- Class Schedule
- Grades
- Financial Aid
- Admission Profile
- Tuition/Fees and University Bill
Letter of Recommendation Release
A recommender's statements based on personal observations or knowledge do not require a written release from a student. However, personally identifiable information from the student's educational record (grades, GPA, etc.) may be included in a letter of recommendation only if the writer has a signed release from the student that, 1) specifies the records that may be disclosed, 2) states the purpose of the disclosure, and 3) identifies the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure can be made.
If you are a student wanting to include your academic record information in a letter of recommendation, please fill out the form below and give it to the person writing the recommendation.
