Navigating UCI Law Student Directory Information: A Comprehensive Guide
The University of California, Irvine School of Law (UCI Law) is committed to providing a supportive and informative environment for its students. This article outlines the policies and procedures surrounding student directory information at UCI Law, ensuring students are well-informed about their rights and options.
Introduction
Understanding how your information is used and protected is crucial in today's digital age. This guide clarifies what constitutes directory information at UCI Law, how it is managed, and how students can control its disclosure. It also touches on the resources available to students for academic, personal, and professional support.
What is Considered Directory Information?
Directory information is defined as information that the University may disclose to the public. At UCI, this information is actively updated through StudentAccess by students who possess an active UCInetID. These updates are then sent directly to the Office of Information Technology (OIT), which is responsible for maintaining the campus directory, processing the data received on a nightly basis.
Student Rights Under FERPA
The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) grants students certain rights regarding their educational records. NOTE: Pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), individual institutions may implement disclosure policies that exceed those outlined in the Act. It should be noted that University of California policies are more restrictive than those outlined in FERPA. The disclosure policies for the UC campuses are outlined in the University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records, sections 130.00-134.00 of the University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students (PACAOS).

Controlling Disclosure of Directory Information
Students have the right to prevent the release of their directory information to anyone without their written consent. It's crucial to be aware of the important implications of exercising this right. Students can restrict the release of their directory information through the University Registrar.
Exceptions to Consent Requirements
It's important to note that there are instances where the University is required to disclose information, such as in response to a subpoena or court order. Additionally, certain categories of information may be designated as public information.
Third-Party Tools and UCI Canvas
UCI Canvas has many external tools integrated with it. Regardless of a records release restriction, if you make use of one of these tools, directory information required for these tools will be passed to the tool’s vendor.
Non-Directory Information
Certain student records, such as hospital and employment records, are maintained for other specific purposes. This type of information will not be confirmed to a third party without the written consent of the student.
Where to Find More Information
Complete records are maintained regarding student record policies and FERPA. Campus policies are available for review in the Reference Room, Langson Library. Locations where student records are maintained by the campus are listed in the Student Record Location Index, which does not include information for room numbers.
