• All students' educational records are automatically protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).  

• In addition to FERPA, sometimes a student may elect to request additional privacy restrictions be placed on their student record through the Registrar's Office.

• Please review all of the details associated with these additional layers of privacy and contact the Registrar with any questions. 

If a student has privacy restrictions, their name will NOT appear or be released in university publications including campus directories, honors recognitions, publications, graduation lists, in the commencement program at graduation, or in response to public records requests.
