Office of the Registrar

What are the basic rules?

  • Student educational records are considered confidential and may not be released without the written consent of the student.
  • As a faculty or staff member you have a responsibility to protect educational records in your possession.
  • Some information is considered public (sometimes called "Directory Information"). This info could typically be released without the student's written permission. However, the student may opt to restrict release of this information to make it confidential as well. IUPUI Directory Information includes: Name, Campus, School or Division, Major Field of Study, Admission or Enrollment Status, Dates of Attendance, Degrees and Awards, University E-mail Address, Activities and Sports and Athletic information. Note: While FERPA allows for the inclusion of address and phone as directory information, IUPUI has excluded those from the institution's definition so student address and phone information is not released without student consent.
  • You have access to information only for legitimate use in completion of your responsibilities as a university employee. Need to know is the basic principle.
  • If you are ever in doubt, do not release any information until you contact the Office of the Registrar at 317-274-1519. The Office of the Registrar is responsible for student record information.
