FERPA
The Student Success Center must follow guidelines set forth by the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which means that we are very careful about what information we will release to anyone besides a university official. The University of Colorado has designated the following items of student information as public or "directory" information. Such information may be disclosed by the institution for any purpose, at its discretion: name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, registration status, class level, major field of study, awards, honors, degree(s) conferred with location, past and present participation in officially recognized activities and sports, physical factors (height, weight of athletes), date of birth, account balance. Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of directory information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. To withhold disclosure, written notification must be received in the Admissions and Records Office prior to the 12th day of classes in any given term. Forms requesting the withholding of "directory information" are available in the Admissions and Records Office.The complete policy can be found in the University library. last updated 8/30/06 |
