Cuyamaca College maintains student records and privacy in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Note:If you wish to opt-out of directory information, please visit the Admissions and Records office to submit your request.
When a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a postsecondary institution, regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer from the parent to the student. Parents may obtain directory information from Admissions and Records. Parents may only obtain non-directory information if you, the student, have submitted an Authorization for Release of Information to Admissions and Records specifically to your parents. Photo ID will be required.
Please refer to our new FERPA Guide for Parents.
I am a parent and I need help logging in to, navigating, and/or processing transactions in my student's WebAdvisor account. What do I do?
College officials will only assist the student with access to his/her WebAdvisor account, which contains records covered under FERPA. Additionally, students at Cuyamaca College are expected to act on their own behalf, not only out of respect for student privacy, but also to fully engage students in college administrative processes that are essential for their success in college.
Please have your student call (619) 660-4275 for assistance. Calls will be returned in a timely manner. They can also visit our office during normal business hours listed above.
