Notification of Death

The rights of an individual established under FERPA expire upon death. TSC Office of the Admissions and Records exercises discretion in determining if, and under what conditions, information should be disclosed to survivors, executors, and/or third parties. Verification of an individual’s death must be received before academic records will be released. An individual who has been admitted, and whose death occurs prior to the first day of class, is not considered in attendance and has no applicable education records.

To provide notification of a former student’s death, contact the Office of Admissions and Records at 956-295-3600. A death certificate, obituary, or applicable military records will be required in order to update the former student’s record.
