Notification Regarding Release of Student 目录 Information

The Family Educational 权利 and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. “教育记录”就是“那些记录”, 文件文件, and other materials which 1) contain information directly related to a student; and 2) are maintained by an educational institution. (20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4)(A); 34 CFR § 99.3). FERPA applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. 教育部.

一般来说, FERPA allows Montana Tech to disclose education records or personally identifiable information from education records in the following circumstances: with the written consent of the student, if the disclosure meets one of the statutory exemptions, or if the disclosure is directory information and the student has not placed a hold on release of directory information.

The University defines the following information as public (directory) information:

  • 学生的名字
  • 出席日期
  • 所获学位及奖项
  • 主修和副修专业
  • 学生的家乡
  • 年级水平
  • Enrollment Status (Undergraduate or Graduate, Full time or part time)
  • Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
  • Most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student
  • Weight and height, if student is a member of an intercollegiate athletic team

FERPA allows Montana Tech to release a student’s directory information to anyone unless the student informs 注册服务 that he or she does not wish directory information to be released.

禁止发布目录信息

If you do not wish to authorize the release of directory information and do not want your directory information to appear in the Montana Tech Student 目录, 你必须填写一份 Restrict Release of 目录 Information form 哪一个可以从 报名服务网站. You should allow at least three business days for processing.

你应该意识到……

You should be aware that restricting the release of your directory information has other consequences. 例如, a FERPA restriction makes it difficult or impossible for potential employers to verify your enrollment, or to verify the fact that you have earned a 学位 from Montana Tech. The university cannot notify your home town paper about awards and honors you receive (e.g.(院长名单). For this reason alone, many students choose to remove their FERPA restriction.

从“不”变成“是”

At any time after restricting the release of your directory information, you may change your mind and choose to authorize the university to release directory information and for it to appear in the Montana Tech Student 目录. 要完成此操作,请完成 Authorization to Release 目录 Information form.
