- Authorization to Release Information form. To authorize various SIUE offices to speak with a Parent or Third Party regarding your personal information via in person, phone or email, then there must be an Authorization to Release Information on file. This authorization must be completed by you. You can choose which office is allowed to release your information by setting up a security password that your parent or third party will need to provide to an SIUE representative to confirm their identity. This password may be one that your parent chooses. To activate your authorized parent or third parties, please logon to Cougarnet and select Student > Student Account > Authorization to Release Information.
