Available Records

Each year, the University of Illinois System and its universities provide countless documents and reports online.

We provide a generic list of the types of records commonly available in university offices. Special or unique files documenting functions specific to a given office may also be available. Because records-retention practices provide for periodic destruction or archival transfer of information, a listed record may not be in a given office at a particular time. Some public records are published and may be available for purchase, or may be available under library lending procedures.

Some records are also more readily available outside of the FOIA process. These include transcripts or degree verifications, employment verifications, and general information about admission to each campus. Access to these is obtained by contacting the appropriate offices. Please see our all campus directory for information on reaching the responsible offices on each campus.

Some of the records described in this list, or certain portions of them, may be exempt from inspection and copying. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the university is prohibited from releasing some records.
