FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) allows students to place a Restriction on their Directory Information. This Restriction prevents the disclosure of any information on this student including the fact that they are in fact a student at KSU. However, the law has recently been modified to clarify that a student may not choose to be anonymous within the classroom setting, whether in a traditional or distance learning class, by placing a Restriction on their records. Disclosure of personally identifiable information, such as the student鈥檚 name and email address, as required by the instructors and classroom setting for purposes of conducting the class and class activities is permissible under FERPA.

Maintaining confidentiality of student records is everyone's responsibility at KSU. Why? It's federal law. University employees who have access or have requested access to systems that contain student record information will be required to review this tutorial before access is permitted.  Employees may be asked periodically to review and acknowledge their understanding of this information to remain current with federal regulations.

FERPA training information can be found at the following Registrar鈥檚 Office link:
