The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the California Education Code afford "eligible students" certain rights with respect to their education records. Eligible students are those who are or have been in attendance at Golden Gate University. These rights include:
Golden Gate University has designated the following student records as directory information, and at its discretion may release this information without the student’s written consent:
As required by Section 99.37 of the FERPA regulations, this serves as annual public notice of which student records Golden Gate University classifies as “directory information.” Students have the right to withhold all “directory information,” but must notify the registrar in writing by completion and submission of the Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information form. Once a non-disclosure hold is placed on a student’s directory information, it will remain in effect until and unless the student removes it by submission of a written request to the registrar.
Golden Gate University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide transcript ordering via the Web. You can order your transcript using any major credit card. Your card will only be charged after your order has been completed.
If you need further assistance, would like to order a transcript off-line, or have questions regarding your order, you may contact us at records@ggu.edu or 415-442-7285. If you have requested your order online via the National Student Clearinghouse, please include your order number in your communication to us.
The Records Office will notarized your diploma (and transcripts if needed) in order to be authenticated by the California Secretary of State to become legal in certain countries outside of the United States. Please note that the Records Office does not provide the Apostille or Certification. You must obtain it from the California Secretary of State after you receive your notarized diploma. You may submit your copy of your diploma for notarization or request a new copy using the Additional Diploma/Certificate Request form. There is a charge of $10 for the notarized diploma. If you need to change your legal name-of-record before ordering a diploma, submit the Student Information Change Request form.
If you need further assistance or have questions, you may contact us at graduation@ggu.edu or 415-442-7278.
Golden Gate University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide verification of our graduates' degrees and current students' enrollment information. Outside organizations or persons can obtain a verification using any major credit card. The requestors' credit card will only be charged if the degree can be verified.
Domestic students may obtain an enrollment verification certificate from the National Student Clearinghouse. (GGU4YOU login required.)
