The Office of Financial Aid at Trinity is committed to keeping your financial aid information confidential and secure and complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, which protects the privacy of student educational records.

Trinity University only uses your personal information to administer financial aid and will not sell or provide your personal information to others. In addition, Trinity University has policies and procedures in place that protect your personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure.

Generally, Trinity University’s Office of Financial Aid destroys financial aid records three years after the student graduates. Some records may have shorter or longer retention requirements.

You have the right to inspect, review and request copies of your financial aid records. You may review only your own record. If your record contains information about other students, disclosure cannot include information regarding the other student(s). You also have the right to correct inaccurate information in your financial aid record. Our office must receive in writing a statement outlining the inaccurate information and documentation that supports the correct information.

If an enrolled student wishes to grant parental access to their Trinity records, including financial aid information, they must fill out a written release in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Please contact the Office of the Registrar at (210) 999-7201 to submit a FERPA form.
