Quiz Question 4 Answer is Incorrect:

The police should first be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

General Rule:

Information about whether or not a student was enrolled in a particular semester is directory information, and can be obtained through the Office of the Registrar. If the police require more information, a subpoena may be required. Additionally, FERPA requires notification of the student, unless it is specifically stated on the subpoena that the student must not be notified.
