PRIVACY
The University complies with the requirements
of both the Federal Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 34 CFR
Parr 99, and the Maryland Public Information
Act. State Government Article
10-162.
In compliance with these acts, the university
will only release without your signature
that information that is so designated
as directory information. Directory information
is defined as the student's name,
home town, major field ofstudy, participation
in officially recognized activities and
sports, dates ofattendance, degrees and
awards received, the most recent previous
educational agency or institution attended
by this student, and other similar information.
The Maryland Public Information Act
requires the university to provide directories
of its students upon request. Consequently,
directories may be released to
commercial enterprises, such as credit card
companies. If you do not wish to have
directory information released, you are
required to submit that request by filing a
"Request to Withhold Directory Information"
form in the Office of Records and
Transcripts, prior to the start of each semester.
The form is also available on the university
web site.
FERPA provides students with the
opportunity ro review information contained
in their "educational records."
Offices where students' educational records
are kept are: Records and Transcripts,
Veteran's Affairs, Undergraduate and
Graduate Admissions, Law Admissions,
and the academic deans. Students who wish
to review their records may do so by making
an appointment with the appropriate
head of the office which houses the record.
