Solomon Amendment & FERPA

Solomon Amendment is a federal law that allows military recruiters to access some address, biographical and academic program information on students age 17 and older.

The Department of Education has determined the Solomon Amendment supersedes most elements of FERPA. An institution is therefore obligated to release data included in the list of “student recruiting infor颅mation,” which may or may not match 澳门六合彩预测's FERPA directory information list. However, if the student has submitted a request through my.澳门六合彩预测 Self Service to the University Registrar Office to restrict the release of his/her Directory Information, then no information from the student's education record will be released under the Solomon Amendment. For more information on directory information.
