WHAT STUDENT INFORMATION ARE MILITARY RECRUITERS ENTITLED TO UNDER THE SOLOMON AMENDMENT?

Recruiters may receive "student recruiting information" for either the immediately previous, current or future term for all students, aged 17 and older, who are/were registered for at least 1 credit hour in the requested semester/term. If a request is received between terms, the recruiter and registrar should determine from which term the information is preferred.

Student recruitment information includes:

• Names, addresses, electronic mail addresses (which shall be the electronic mail addresses provided by the institution, if available), and telephone listings.
• Date and place of birth, levels of education, academic majors, degrees received, and the most recent educational institution enrolled in by the student.

HOW DOES SOLOMON AMENDMENT INFORMATION RELATE TO FERPA DIRECTORY INFORMATION?

Military recruiters are entitled to student recruitment information even if your institution has not designated it as directory information under FERPA. In other words, Solomon information is, or can be, broader than what you may have designated as directory information under FERPA.
