titleCan a student give consent to disclose their student email address, phone number or address?

Yes. There is not a no central database to verify whether a student has provided consent. Written consent will need to be obtained on a case-by-case basis. The student can sign a form or send an email from their EMU address. The form/email should contain the following language:

"I affirmatively consent to the internal, non-public disclosure of my address, telephone number and email address solely for the purposes of 1) internal use within the University community, including facilitating email communications and student directory information and 2) internal use in the University processes. I understand that my contact information will not be publicly available."

titleI have student workers who routinely access the email address, phone number, or address of other students as a part of their job. Do I need to remove their access?

No, you do not need to remove their access. Student workers (paid and unpaid) are school officials under FERPA policy and therefore disclosure of contact information is not made under the directory information exception and HB1 is not applicable. If a student worker is expected are permitted to access this information as a part of their job duties , then these student workers are EMU employees and university officials with the need to know this information. While these student workers and other employees who handle this information and HB1 does not apply to them in their role as a student worker.  They, along with other employees, must be made aware that they may not disclose this information without supervisory authorization and written consent from the affected students, , but no additional action is needed for their continued access to this them to continue to access student contact information.
