Notice for Directory Information
FERPA, the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, requires that Neumont, with certain exceptions, obtain a student's written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from their education records. However, Neumont may disclose appropriately designated "directory information" without written consent, unless a student has advised the institution to the contrary in accordance with Neumont procedures.
The primary purpose of directory information is to allow Neumont to include information from educational records in certain school publications. Examples include:
- academic and attendance recognition
- commencement programs
Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a student's prior written consent.
Neumont has designated the following student information as directory information:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Email address
- Photograph
- Enrollment status (Full/Part-time)
- Degrees, honors, and awards received
- Dates of attendance
- Cohort number
- Internal and Enterprise Project topics and partners
- Last school attended
- Participation in officially recognized activities
