Each year, in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the registrar is obligated to inform students about the federal law that imposes limitations on the disclosure of educational records without explicit authorization from the student. The registrar is also required to provide a comprehensive list of the items considered “directory information” that may be released. These lists containing “directory information” are only shared with external organizations when compelled by the Missouri Sunshine Law.
For further information regarding the specific items classified as “directory information” and additional details about this yearly notification, students can visit the registrar’s website.
If you have any further questions, please contact the registrar at registrar@mst.edu or call 573-341-4181.
