Dear Matt Freund:

Thank you for your public records request, which was received on 12/6/2018. By this communication we acknowledge receipt.

Please be advised that the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as amended, prohibits Cleveland State University from disclosing or releasing a student's "education record" or personally identifiable information contained in that record without the student's written consent.

FERPA defines "education records" as "those records, files, documents and other materials which (i) contain information directly related to a student; and (ii) are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution." One of the exceptions to FERPA, unless otherwise instructed by the student, permits the university to release or disclose "directory information" about students without their consent.

Cleveland State University's "directory information" is defined as:

1. Student Name

2. Home city and state (only)

3. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports

4. Dates of attendance

5. Degrees and awards (honors) earned

If you would like to receive Cleveland State University's directory information as defined by the University, please respond by Monday, 12/10/2018.
