What else should I know about directory information?
- If you do not have a way of knowing whether or not a student has requested confidentiality of directory information, do not release it.
- Just because you may does not mean you should. The university considers a student's right to privacy to be very important and does not routinely share directory information with third parties.
- To request that directory information be made confidential, the student should notify (in writing) the Office of the University Registrar.
- If a student requests confidentiality of directory information, it is all-or-nothing. In other words, not even the student's name will appear in on-line directories.
