Information Release Form

In the waivers and release section of the global education program application, applicants complete a FERPA release form. Ohio State will only use that information if a traveler: 
 

  • Is unable to speak for themselves 
  • Is perceived to be a danger to themselves or others 
  • Fails to comply with legitimate directives of university officials 
  • Is in a location directly impacted by a significant health, safety or security incident such as civil unrest, act of terrorism or a significant natural disaster. 

In all other instances, we expect travelers to maintain contact with their family and supporters unless a specific request has been made for the global health and safety team or other university staff to be in contact.
