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:
- Full name of student
- Campus address and telephone number
- Home address and telephone number
- Campus phone number
- Clemson University e-mail address
- Major field of study
- Degrees and awards received
- Dates of attendance
- Grade level
- Enrollment status
(i.e., full or part-time, undergraduate, graduate)
- Name of institution last attended
- Participation in official sports and activities
- Height and weight of athletic team members
- Photographs (for University use only)
- State of residence
- Date and place of birth
- Marital status

Although the information referenced at left is not confidential under FERPA,
the South Carolina Family Privacy Protection Act (FPPA) prohibits public agencies from disclosing name, address, telephone number and other
contact information to third parties who plan to use the information for purposes of commercial solicitation. If you receive a request for this
type of information, please contact the Office of Institutional Research or the General Counsel's Office.
