Directory Information
Regulations » FERPA Training » Directory Information

FERPA directory information is information contained in your education record that generally would not be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Under current CU Boulder policy, the following information is designated as directory information:

  • Student Name

  • Student address (including designated local mailing and permanent addresses)

  • Telephone Number listed with mailing addresses

  • Campus e-mail address

  • Dates of attendance

  • Previous educational institutions attended

  • School/College or division of enrollment

  • Majors, Minors and Field of study

  • Class (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.)

  • Degrees, honors, awards applied for or conferred (including certificates, thesis and dissertation titles) and dates conferred

  • Enrollment status (e.g., full time or part-time student status)

  • Expected date of completion in enrolled course of study

  • Employment related to student status (e.g., teaching assistant, resident assistant, or tutor)

  • Participation in officially recognized activiites/sports, including height and weight of athletes

  • College Opportunity Fund application and authorization status for Colorado residents

  • Class seating assignment and roster for students enrolled in a common course

  • Student ID photo - Information about Buff OneCard Photo Access

Although these items are designated by CU Boulder as directory information, only a limited amount of this information is routinely disclosed by CU Boulder officials and the University retains the discretion to refuse to disclose directory information if it believes such disclosure would be an infringement of your privacy rights.

FERPA directory information as used in this policy should not be confused with the directory information CU Boulder lists in on-line or printed student directories. In an effort to protect student privacy, CU directories contain only a students name, email address, class and major field of study.

CU Boulder may change the designation of directory information from time-to-time. You will be notified of changes through e-mail publication.
