Student Privacy Rights (FERPA)

Information about FERPA.

As a student, you have privacy rights regarding your educational records protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Some information, like your name and email address, is considered public (directory) information and is available for others to access. If you wish to withhold directory information, you can create a FERPA hold through your Student Center by following these instructionsCaution: Restricting directory information may have an impact on the Law School's ability to confirm education information to prospective employers, particularly restrictions on disclosure of major, attendance, participation in activities, and degrees and awards.

For more information on student privacy rights, see the University Registrar's Office FERPA website.
