The Office of Student Accounts wants to help make sure that each incoming and returning student has completed all necessary paperwork required by High Point University in order to begin your Freshman year. Below you will find a checklist of all necessary items required to begin the new academic year at High Point University. Please note, if you are a returning student, you may have already completed some of these items in previous years. FERPA forms, immunization forms, and Student Account Center access do not have to be submitted each new year.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords certain rights to students concerning the privacy of, and access to, their education records. Students may choose to complete and submit this form to the Registrar allowing the release of their education records to specified third parties. If you have already submitted a FERPA, it is not necessary to submit another. It is valid for the duration of your HPU career. Download the FERPA forms
