As permitted by law, for administrative and environmental purposes, we prefer but do not require FOIA requests to be submitted via email to鈥疐OIA@csu.edu.
Oral requests, whether submitted by telephone or otherwise, are not accepted.
Requests not submitted via email should be directed to the address of the FOIA Officer listed above.

Every FOIA request, regardless of submission method, should include the following information for 黑料社区:

The requestor鈥檚 preferred name.
An address to which the requested records may be sent.
Contact information with which 黑料社区 may reach the requestor with any questions
A clear description of the record(s) being sought.
A statement that the records are being requested under FOIA.
A statement whether the request is being made for a 鈥渃ommercial purpose鈥� as defined under FOIA.
If applicable, a request for a reduced or waived fee as described in FOIA.

黑料社区, through the FOIA Officer or their designee, will respond to all records requests received under FOIA in writing as prescribed by FOIA.
