 Subject: MASSMAIL - UIN as Directory Info

To: 	All Students
From: 	Carol Malmgren, Registrar 
Date: 	May 18, 2009

Effective Fall 2009, students need to be aware of a change to the campus 
definition of "directory" information. This change will be made to better 
serve students and to make business processes and academic support 
processes less cumbersome and more efficient. 

Other specifics include:
-- The list of items defined as "directory" information will be expanded 
to include the University Identification Number (UIN). 
-- This change is made in accordance with the Family Educational Rights 
and Privacy Act (FERPA). 
-- Beginning September 1, 2009, the revised policy will be incorporated in 
the Student Code and in other policies that refer to FERPA. For your 
reference the current Student Code is found at the following web site: 
<http://www.admin.uiuc.edu/policy/code/article_3/a3_3-609.html> 
-- As in the past, campus units may disclose student directory information 
so long as those students who choose FERPA suppression are omitted. 
-- Students should expect small changes in the way staff verifies student 
identity. Staff will no longer rely solely on the UIN---additional 
verification must be used.

Questions about the new policy may be addressed to:
