Notice of Directory Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that Campbell University, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education records. However, Campbell University may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised Campbell University to the contrary in accordance with Campbell University procedures.

If you do not want Campbell University to disclose any or all of the types of information designated below as directory information from your education records without your prior written consent, you must notify the Campbell University Office of the Registrar, J.A. Campbell Administration Building, Post Office Box 367, Buies Creek, NC 27506, in writing by September 1. At any time after restricting the release of your directory information, a student may file a written revocation to authorize the University to release directory information.

Campbell University has designated the following information as directory information:

  • Student name
  • Dates of attendance
  • Degree(s) received
  • Academic majors and minors
  • *Current student address
  • Student’s Campbell University email address
  • Telephone numbers
  • Religious denomination
  • Academic classification (freshman, sophomore, )
  • Academic Dean’s and President’s Lists
  • Membership in academic honor or service organizations
  • Elected member of the Student Government Association
  • Last institution attended
  • Most recent institution attended
  • Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
  • Weight and height of members of athletic teams

*Note: Campbell University does not consider a parent’s address directory information. A separate parent address should not be disclosed without prior written consent from the student.

Note: A student’s academic standing — such as “in good standing” or “eligible to return” — should not be designated as directory information under FERPA. By process of elimination, those who are “not in good standing” could be identified and this would be considered an invasion of privacy under FERPA.

Note: Directory information does not include a student’s Social Security number.
