At Midland Lutheran College, we understand the important role that parents play in the lives of their children. Thus, parents are an important part of our campus community. We want to be available to serve you as a parent and answer the questions and concerns that you might have. The experience of beginning college life is challenging and exciting for parents as well as students, and we expect you may have questions about this very important period in your son or daughter’s life. Thus, we have produced this Parent Resource Guide for you. You may also be interested in the Student Handbook.

Confidentiality of Information
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, often referred to as the “Buckley Amendment” or FERPA, non-directory information regarding a student will not be released outside the college community without that student‘s permission except in the limited circumstances stated within the act.
FERPA Brochure (.pdf)
The College routinely publishes material classified as directory information that is permissible within FERPA. Such materials include the student directory, news stories on recipients of honors, a listing of participants in student activities, membership in campus organizations and the like. Directory information may include majors, minors, dates of attendance, date of birth, email address, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), address, and date of graduation. Individuals, however, may request their name not appear in directory information by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing.
