I also give permission for the use of my child's name and/or photograph for editorial, promotional, recruitment or educational purposes.

The Release of Records is essential and required in order for Century College TRIO/ETS staff to gather student data for purpose of reporting to the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, I/we authorize ETS representatives to communicate with representatives from post-secondary institutions on my behalf for up to six years post high school graduation. This also authorizes the post-secondary institution in which said student is enrolled to release information about admissions, college academic enrollment and degree completion.
