Release of Directory Information
FERPA defines "directory information" as information contained in the education records of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Typically, "directory information" includes information such as:
-
name,
-
address,
-
telephone listing,
-
e-mail,
-
major field of study,
-
dates of attendance,
-
enrollment status (e.g. undergraduate or graduate, full-time or part-time),
-
participation in officially recognized activities and sports,
-
weight and height of members of athletic teams,
-
degrees, honors and awards received, and
-
most recent educational agency or institution attended.
The release of the above-noted information by an educational agency or institution is permitted under the law unless the student notifies the institution or agency in person that he/she does not want such information released. Eligible students may withhold directory information by notifying the Office of Student Success, 109 Enrollment Services Center, or by calling 606-783-2070.
Requests for non-disclosure will remain in effect until the eligible student informs the Office of Student Success to remove the disclosure restriction.
