4.1.1 Confidentiality and Open (Public Records)

Most types of university information (records) are defined as either "Confidential" or "Open" (public) within UNT Policy 10.10, the University Records Retention Schedule. Information that is classified as confidential cannot be disclosed or disseminated to the public (people who aren't employees of the university with a need to know this information). Much of the information about our students (grades, financial aid status, Social Security numbers, etc.) is confidential.
