FERPA Q&A

Q:  Your college wants to post event photos on its website. Is posting these photos permissible under FERPA?
A:  Depending on the photos, the college may be able to do so. At the University of Minnesota, photos are not directory information, so students need to grant permission for them to be publicly displayed if they can be identified in the photos. If the photo is a large group photo where faces cannot readily be identified, it may be posted on the website. Otherwise, student permission is required.
