Directory Information
FERPA allows for the university to define some basic information which may be released without a student prior consent. This is referred to as “Directory Information”. The university has defined the following as student directory information for UW-Green Bay:
- Student name
- Home Address
- Home Telephone
- Campus Email address
- Class level
- Dates of attendance
- Major field of study
- Degrees
- Honors and awards received
- Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
- Height of members of athletic teams

This information comes primarily from each student’s SIS account. Students are encouraged to review and update their contact information on a regular basis by logging into SIS and using the self-service function to make changes to their directory information. A student can submit a Restriction Request to prevent their personal information from being released publicly.

- Student ID numbers
