FERPA Q&A

Q: Can one graduate program share a list of denied applicants with another program at the University that may want to recruit the students?

A: No, the applicant information should not be shared. Application information is private educational information under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and is later protected by FERPA for anyone that attends the institution. An alternative method would be for the graduate program to forward information on behalf of other programs, or request the applicants’ permission to share their contact or application information.
