SUBMITTING A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

Fayetteville State University believes in public transparency and providing access to open records and public documents. Anyone may submit a public document request online.

Requesters for public documents should submit detailed requests in writing through the Fayetteville State University public records portal. To minimize processing time, we encourage requesters to be as specific as possible in identifying the information being sought and during what period of time.


FAQs

How long does it take to receive the requested public record?

The University attempts to respond as promptly as possible to public records requests; however, the University’s response time will vary depending on the availability of records, the complexity of the request, the volume of materials involved, the number of requests ahead in the queue, and the time required to review the materials for possible redaction to protect the privacy rights of students or employees or other information deemed confidential under federal or state law.
