The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of your education records. With the exception of directory information, these records are considered confidential and cannot be released to third parties (including your parents, spouse, or sponsor) without your written consent.
FERPA regulations allow for access to your records without your consent in certain cases, including:
IU maintains an online address book that allows users to find limited information for a student by searching on name or university network ID. The address book will display your name, campus, and (if available) email address.
In Canvas, IU’s course management system, only the instructor and the students enrolled in your course section will see your name in the roster—and nothing else, unless you release additional information through your Canvas profile.
You can block all information from appearing in both the address book and Canvas by filing a request for non-disclosure of directory information form with the Office of the Registrar. This will prevent your directory information from being released to any person other than an IU East faculty or staff member. If you change your mind later, you can file a removal of the restraint.
