Suppressed Directory Information

FERPA Tutorial

Suppressed Directory Information

In carrying out your responsibilities at the University, you may use suppressed directory information only as necessary to meet the direct educational needs of the student. For example, the student's name and address may be used in a mailing to inform the student of registration deadlines.

Do not reveal suppressed information to anyone who does not need it to complete official University duties directly related to the student's educational needs. This restriction applies to all forms of communication, both written and verbal.



How to Recognize Suppressed Information

A suppressed record will be marked with Confidential at the top left-hand or right-hand corner of the Banner Screen. When working with student data, carefully examine records and computer screens for any indication that the information is suppressed.
