International Parents

You’ve worked hard to provide the best opportunities for your child, and by choosing Snow College you can feel confident about their future. We value the role you play in guiding them toward the right fit, and we’re committed to supporting you both throughout the journey. This page brings together everything you need—from academic quality and student support to cultural experiences and career preparation—so your child can grow academically and personally while living here in Utah.

Parental Permissions and FERPA

The relationship between students and their families can change when loved ones are living in a different country. According to U.S. federal law and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we can only share a student’s information with others (such as parents, spouses or family members) if the student gives permission. By completing the Consent to Release Student Information Form (accessible inside Snow's student portal), your child empowers you to stay updated and actively support their success.

With this signed form, you’ll have access to the information you need to help your student stay on track with their academics and remain in good standing financially—making their international education experience easier for everyone. Granting consent is also especially helpful to ensure immigration compliance if your student plans to defer admission or leave Snow College—whether to return home during summer break or to transfer to a university to complete their bachelor's degree.
