The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that Ƶ, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education records. However, Ƶ may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised Ƶ to the contrary in accordance with Ƶ procedures.
If you do not want Ƶ to disclose any or all of the types of information designated below as directory information from your education records without your prior written consent, you must notify the Ƶ Office of the Registrar, J.A. Ƶ Administration Building, Post Office Box 367, Buies Creek, NC 27506, in writing by September 1. At any time after restricting the release of your directory information, a student may file a written revocation to authorize the University to release directory information.
Ƶ has designated the following information as directory information:
- Student name
- Dates of attendance
- Degree(s) received
- Academic majors and minors
- *Current student address
- Student’s Ƶ email address
- Telephone numbers
- Academic classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.)
- Academic Dean’s and President’s Lists
- Membership in academic honor or service organizations
- Elected member of the Student Government Association
- Last institution attended
- Most recent institution attended
- Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
- Weight and height of members of athletic teams
*Note: Ƶ does not consider a parent’s address directory information. A separate parent address should not be disclosed without prior written consent from the student.
Note: A student’s academic standing — such as “in good standing” or “eligible to return” — should not be designated as directory information under FERPA. By process of elimination, those who are “not in good standing” could be identified and this would be considered an invasion of privacy under FERPA.
Note: Directory information does not include a student’s Social Security number.
