FERPA Notification

Students will be notified of their FERPA rights each term by email and by annual publication of this policy in the student handbook.  Additionally, this policy is posted on the Academic Policies page.

Marquette University's policy regarding the confidentiality of student records is in keeping with FERPA.  It is university policy to maintain as confidential all data except that considered to be directory information.  Directory information includes:  students' name(s), Marquette identification number (MUID), address(es), telephone number(s), Marquette email address, photographs, electronic images, date and place of birth, major field(s) of study, current enrollment status, participation in officially recognized activities, dates of attendance, degrees earned and dates of graduation, including expected graduation dates, awards and academic honors received (including names of scholarships), Dean's List selection, previous institution(s) attended, program and promotion materials on participants in various sports and similar public activities, including weights and heights of members of athletic teams.

Students have the right to restrict the release of address(es), telephone number(s) and Marquette email address and may do so by logging in to CheckMarq, then accessing CheckMarq Student Home > Profile > Privacy Restrictions.

Students also have the right to restrict all directory information and may initiate the process by contacting Marquette Central. 

In addition, FERPA, affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
