Opt-out disclosure
Permits opt-out?

Opt-out method
NSC collects student data from participating postsecondary institutions and discloses such data to 3rd parties as contractually authorized by such institutions, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act.

Individuals may opt-out of the disclosure of their DI by notifying their institution.
Scope
Pursuant to the requirements of FERPA, the directory information opt-out applies to disclosures where the individual has not consented to the disclosure and where no other exception to FERPA’s consent requirement applies.
Third-party authorized agent allowed?
No.
Activities not subject to opt-out
Under FERPA, the directory information opt-out does not apply to disclosures in which the individual has provided consent, or where an exception to FERPA’s consent requirement applies other than the directory information exception.

Collects minors\u2019 data
Yes (per registry disclosure)
There are rare cases in which the Clearinghouse has actual knowledge that it possesses such information on minors who are or who have been enrolled in postsecondary education. We collect, maintain, and protect this data with the same robust policies we apply to all student data, and respect the same FERPA directory information opt-out rights as we do for non-minors enrolled in postsecondary education.
