Pay My Bill

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

What is FERPA?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records (those records, files, documents, and other materials that contain information directly related to a student, and are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by any person acting for such agency or institution). FERPA applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the Department of Education.

Notice of student rights

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:

The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-5920

Questions or concerns regarding FERPA should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

Tuition Waiver for Students Eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch - Updated for 2021-22

Academically qualified students who also are verified as free or reduced lunch in the current academic year may enroll in CAP at no cost. Even though students in many districts are receiving free lunches regardless of family income level, in order to qualify for the waiver of CAP tuition, the formal application for the National School Lunch Program must be completed and approved by the district or corporation. If not verified by the school district, you will be billed the normal per credit hour fee.

Former CAP Students Needing to Pay Their Bill:

Former CAP students who need to pay their bill to access their transcript can do so by following the directions below:

1. Visit TouchNet and click on 'Former Student'
2. Enter in your USI student ID number (this number has three zeros and is on numerous CAP provided pieces including your bill and student letters). The CAP Office (812-228-5022) can also provide this students if you no longer have access to your bill or CAP documentation.
3. Call the myUSI Help Desk at 812-465-1080 to verify your information and obtain your password. When you call them, you will need to say, "I am a former student who does not have access to myUSI. The CAP Office referred me to a TouchNet link. I need to retrieve my PIN to log in."
4. Once logged into TouchNet, click 'Make a Payment." There is a 10 day waiting period before the transcript hold can be removed when paying by eCheck. There is a one day waiting period for a hold to be removed for payments made with a card (a 2.85% processing fee is added).
5. Once the payment hold is removed from your account, a transcript may be sent.
