Student Privacy
Franklin University is in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The policy permits students to review their educational records and prohibits the disclosure of those records to a third party without the written consent of the student. All information belongs to the student and cannot be released without the permission of the student, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent, and in specific cases such as legally binding court orders.
Franklin University may distribute the following information in appropriate situations without the student’s permission under the definition of Directory Information: student’s name, photograph, address, telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, class level, major, minor, enrollment status, class rosters, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student, and participation in officially recognized campus activities.
