What is Directory Information?
FERPA permits institutions to specifically define some education record information as "directory information" not confidential under FERPA.
This is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
Clemson University defines "directory information" in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.
The definition includes:
- student's full name
- permanent address and telephone number
- local address and telephone number
- e-mail address
- state of residence
- date and place of birth
- marital status
- academic status
- class schedule and roster
- name of advisor
- major field of study
(including the college, division, department or program in which the student is enrolled)
- participation in officially recognized activities & sports
- weight and height of members of athletic teams
- dates of attendance and graduation
- degrees and honors & awards received
(including selection to a dean's list or honorary organization and the grade point average of students selected, and the most previous educational institution attended)
