Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
(FERPA) only "directory information" may be released without
a student's permission. Directory information is defined as:
a student’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address; major field of study and classification; class
schedule; date and place of birth; faculty adviser; high
school attended and date of graduation; photograph;
veteran’s status; participation in officially recognized
activities and sports; weight and height of members of
athletic teams; dates of attendance; degrees, awards, and
honors received; and previous educational institution most
recently attended.
Students may complete a "Request to Prevent Disclosure of
Directory Information" form in the Registrar's Office to
have this information withheld. Requests to withhold
information will be in effect until the student provides
written notification to rescind the request to the
Registrar's Office.
McNeese State University employees who have a legitimate
educational or safety interest as determined by the
University will have access to students' educational
records. Additionally, persons under contract, or having a
contractual agreement, with the University to provide a
service or benefit to the student or their family may have
access to certain student records as prescribed by federal
law. The University reserves the right to deny access to
students' education records to persons not affiliated with
the University unless the student has submitted a written
signed waiver requesting access and specifying the records
to be released.
Each year a campus telephone directory is published.
Students, faculty and staff can withhold directory
information from this publication. The campus telephone
directory is a public document and it is the only document
that the University makes public containing the name,
address and telephone number of students.
Questions regarding FERPA should be referred to the
Registrar.
