Comments
In response to new federal interpretations, as well as to meet the needs of the University of North Texas faculty, staff and students, UNT has implemented a revised FERPA policy that is effective immediately.
Key changes to the policy affect many faculty and staff members who have access to students’ records. Most notable of the changes are revisions to those items listed as “Directory Information,” which is information typically allowed to be released without student consent, unless the student has requested that their directory information be withheld. Effective 08/11/2011.
