NOTICE TO STUDENTS

The University of Memphis intends to comply fully with the Family Education Right and Privacy Act of 1974 and its subsequent amendments. A complete copy of the procedure may be obtained in the Office of the Registrar.

Directory Information

"Directory Information" is defined as: the student's name, student U-Number, address, telephone listing, e-mail address, major field of study, date and place of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous education agency or institution attended by the student, the student's enrollment status (number of enrolled hours, full-time or part-time status), and the student's classification (level).

Restricted Release of Directory Information

After registering for courses, a student may personally complete a written request in 003 Wilder Tower that directory information not be released. Such information will also be withheld from the campus telephone directory if the form is completed within the first two weeks of classes. NOTE: The campus telephone directory is published in the fall semester.

Access to Records

To gain access, the student must request the custodian of the records to allow perusal of the education record according to the University Procedure for Student Records Access, which contains a list of the custodians of the records. A student must present proper identification in support of his/her request. Parents of dependent students as defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 152 may obtain access to a dependent student's record after presenting appropriate documentation.

Review, Amend, Consent To Release Records

Students and eligible parents have the right to review education records, request amendments to the record, file a complaint related to the University's compliance with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and provide consent for release of personally identifiable information according to UM1248 . Release of personally identifiable student education records (other than directory information) is not permitted without written consent of the student to any party other than those specified by FERPA (e.g., the University does release education records to officials of other schools in which the student seeks or intends to enroll or has previously been enrolled).
