Description of the Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 grants
to students certain rights, privileges, and protections relative
to individually identifiable student educational records which are
maintained by the University. Specifically:
- Students' educational records (with the exception of
directory information) will be released to third parties outside the
University only with the written consent of the student.
- Students have the right to inspect their own individually
identifiable educational records. The right may be exercised by
completing a request form in the Office of the University
Registrar, 210 South Collee Ave (Visitor Center).
- Students have the right to challenge information contained in
individually identifiable educational records. The procedure is
described in the policy statement referred to below.
- A copy of the policy statement describing the University's
regulations for this Act may be obtained from the Student
Services Building on Lovett Avenue.
Directory Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act permits the
release of directory-type information to third parties outside
the institution without written consent of the student provided the
student has been given the opportunity to withhold such
disclosure.
The University releases, upon inquiry to third parties outside
the University, directory information without written consent of the
student. Directory information includes name, address, telephone
number, college, class, major, dates of attendance, and degree,
honors and awards conferred. Students may withhold directory
information by going to the Student Services Building.
NOTE: While the withholding request may be made at any
time, students wishing to have directory information withheld
from the student directory should submit their requests no later than
six weeks prior to the first day of fall semester classes.
In general, to qualify as a Delaware (in-state) student for
tuition purposes, the student (or the parent upon whom the student is
dependent) must have established a domicile in Delaware and must
have maintained continuous residence therein for a period of 12
consecutive months prior to the first day of classes in the
semester or session in which Delaware student status is sought.
Individuals who work in Delaware but reside in another state are not
considered in-state students for tuition purposes.
A pamphlet entitled "Regulations Governing the Classification
of Students at the University of Delaware for Tuition and Fee
Purposes" contains a complete policy statement and can be
obtained from the ACCESS Center in Clayton Hall or at the Student Services
Building on Lovett Avenue. First-time students, especially
Continuing Education and foreign students, should resolve any
questions concerning residency before submitting their
registration forms.
Unless excused by the faculty member, students holding a
confirmed assigned seat in a class will have relinquished their
seat if they have not personally appeared in class to claim the seat
by the:
2nd class meeting for a class scheduled once a week,
2nd class meeting for a class scheduled two times a week,
3rd class meeting for a class scheduled three times a week,
3rd class meeting for a class scheduled five times a week.
If the student does not claim the seat, according to guidelines
and does not drop the course by the end of the late registration
(Free Drop/Add) period, any applicable tuition will be charged and the
Instructor has the option of assigning the student a grade of "Z"
(the equivalent of a failing grade) at the end of the term.
The University of Delaware reserves the right to refuse for good and
sufficient reasons enrollment of any applicant. Any applicant who is
refused enrollment will, on written request, be provided with a written
statement of the reasons for the refusal of enrollment.
The following information is for those students who have not been
formally admitted to the University's undergraduate or graduate
divisions. These students are identified by the classification
CEND (Continuing Education Non-Degree). CEND students who are new to the
University must complete a Biographic Information Form
on-line, by mail or in person
in order to register.
