FERPA Q&A

Q: Sometimes student groups want to host a panel of alumni for an event. Are staff permitted to share email addresses of our alumni with the student groups? If not, what way is best to connect alumni and student officers/leaders?

A: If you are sharing email addresses of our alumni that were collected after the alumni graduated, the email address can be shared, such as an email address posted on their employer’s website. Similarly, we can share an email address for an alumni still using their umn.edu email address, assuming they have not suppressed it. That being said, it is always a good idea to give alumni advance notice when we plan to share their emails to best prepare them for how to assist our students.
