4.1.3 Protecting Open Directory Information
Open Directory Information about students may or may not be flagged to be "withheld from the public", which means that this information can not be posted on bulletin boards or on websites inappropriately. To be certain that a student’s record is not protected check with the Registrar's Office.
The following items are considered open director information for students:
- student's full name
- address (local, permanent, and e-mail)
- University assigned e-mail address
- telephone listing (local, permanent)
- birth date, birth place
- major field of study
- dates of attendance
- degrees and awards received
- most recent previous school attended
- classification
- participation in officially recognized activities and sports
- weight and height of athletic team members
- photograph
- enrollment status (undergraduate, graduate, full-time or part-time)
Some students request that open directory information also be withheld from the public. These students are identified within Enterprise Information System (EIS). Please see FERPA Compliance at UNT or contact the Registrar's Office for additional information (http://www.unt.edu/ferpa/index.html). All UNT employees who regularly deal with student information should attend FERPA training, available through the Registrar's Office. Open directory information includes general information (as listed) but ALL OTHER STUDENT INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL!
