Confidentiality of Information
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, often referred to as the “Buckley Amendment” or FERPA, non-directory information regarding a student will not be released outside the college community without that student‘s permission except in the limited circumstances stated within the act.
The college routinely publishes material classified as directory information that is permissible within the act. Such materials include the student directory, news stories on recipients of honors, a listing of participants in student activities, membership in campus organizations and the like. Directory information may include majors, minors, dates of attendance, date of birth, email address, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), address, and date of graduation. Individuals, however, may direct that their name not appear in directory information by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing at registration.
