Updating Your Information

Directory Suppression

Some of your student information is designated as directory information and is a matter of public record such as your name and registration status. If you are a currently enrolled student, you have the right to suppress this information. Set directory suppression.

• More information on directory information can be found in the Board of Regents Policy on access to student education records.

Third Party Access to U of M Student Information

Regardless of age, PSEO students’ grades, class schedule, academic advisor meetings/notes, and communications with students are protected information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). U of M Twin Cities staff and faculty cannot discuss this protected information with any third party, including parents, without signed consent from the student, unless the student is considered a dependent for tax purposes under IRS rules. Regents policy, federal law, and state law regulate release of student information to third parties, in addition to regulating the sharing of information within the University. 

If you need to grant or remove a third party (e.g., parent) access to information on your student record, complete the parent/guest access process.  

For access to your PSEO advising notes and/or advising appointments, contact your assigned PSEO advisor for the process to grant third party access to this information.

Note: if students are experiencing a health or safety emergency, U of M staff may speak with parents and guardians without student consent. 

Limits to Confidentially 

In the PSEO program, confidentiality is important to us, and most of your conversations (including email) with PSEO staff are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As a result, these conversations are considered confidential, even from your parents or guardians. However, University policy, state, and federal laws place some limits on confidentiality and may require PSEO staff to release information, without your permission, to designated authorities.  Visit the policies web page to learn more.

Student Internet Account/Access Longevity

You will lose access to your U of M email and Google apps after your last semester in the program unless you are admitted to the U of M as a first-year.
