The various news stories related to enrollment in recent weeks have prompted many questions to and from WSU faculty. As a reminder regarding FERPA requirements, WSU faculty and staff may not share any student-specific information with a third party (includes parents, other students, media, etc.). It is fine to answer questions regarding the number of students enrolled in a course, but no lists or descriptors of any kind can be shared that might reveal a student's enrollment in a particular class. The courses a student takes are not part of directory information at WSU.
All faculty and staff are required to complete the online FERPA training found on the Faculty / Staff tab in myWSU. Other information can be found at http://www.wichita.edu/ferpastaff. Questions regarding FERPA and allowable student-record disclosures can be directed to Gina Crabtree, University Registrar, at gina.crabtree@wichita.edu.
