Privacy Policies
Drury University complies with all applicable laws relating to personal
privacy, including the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
of 1974. Annually, Drury University informs students of their rights relating
to FERPA (20 U.S.C. Sections 1232g; and implementing, 34 C.F.R. Section
99.1 et seq). The Act was designated to protect the privacy of education
records and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or
misleading data through formal and informal hearings.
Students have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act Office, Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue.
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202, concerning this institution's alleged failure
to comply with FERPA.
The University has designated certain information contained in the education
records of its students as directory information for purposes of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
The following information regarding students is considered directory information:
(1) name, (2) address, including e-mail address, (3) telephone number,
(4) date and place of birth, (5) major field of study, (6) part-time/full-time
enrollment status, (7) participation in officially recognized activities
in sports, (8) weight and height of members of athletic teams, (9) dates
of attendance (including matriculation and withdrawal dates), (10) academic
classification by year, (11) prospective degrees, degrees awarded, and
awards received, (12) the most recent previous educational agency or institution
attended by the student, and (13) student's photograph. Indications of
religious preference along with names, addresses and telephone number
of student's listing in the information are provided to the University
Chaplain.
Directory information may be disclosed by this institution for any purpose
in its discretion, without the consent of a student. Students have a right,
however, to refuse to permit the designation of any or all of the above
information as directory information. In that case, this information will
not be disclosed except with the consent of a student, or as otherwise
allowed by FERPA.
Any student refusing to have any or all of the designated directory information
disclosed must file written notification to this effect to the dean of
student services during regular business hours. The written notification
does not apply retroactively to previous releases of directory information
(e.g., once the Student Directory has been published, the directory information
contained therein will remain). To prevent publication of directory information
in the student Directory, written notification must be filed no later
than the second week of classes during the fall semester.
In the event a refusal is not filed, this institution assumes that a student
does not object to the release of the directory information designated.
Questions or inquiries should be addressed to the Registrar's office.
