The Solomon Amendment (10 U.S.C. statutes 982; #@ C.F.R. 216, 65 F.R. 2056) is not a part of FERPA, but it allows military organizations access to information ordinarily restricted under FERPA for the purpose of military recruiting. The Amendment permits the Department of Defense entities to physically access institutional facilities to recruit students, and to obtain student recruiting information. That information includes:

students' names, addresses, phone number;
age (or date of birth);
class level (Freshmen, Sophomore, etc.);
academic major;
degrees received;
most recent education institution at which student was enrolled.
