This is the fastest way to find a Virginia Radford phone directory contact.

For a records request, put it in writing. Give your name, your address, and a short description of what you want. Don't ask a question. Ask for a record. State law says staff must respond in five work days. They may ask for an extra seven days if the job is large. Every Radford office must have a trained FOIA officer on staff. That rule applies to every Virginia public body.

A clear request saves money. Broad requests cost more staff time. Narrow the date range. Name the specific record. Ask for the record in electronic form when you can. That keeps copy fees down.
