Regulations » FERPA Guide » Nondisclosure of Directory Information: Full Privacy and Limited Privacy Options

Students may ask the University not to publicly disclose directory information. Students wishing to place Full Privacy on their educational record must come into the Registrar's Office, Academic Records section, with photo identification to complete the written request.

Students wishing to elect Limited Privacy may complete the Limited Privacy form available through the CUConnect portal, Look for "Registrar Forms" in the "Academics and Research" tab.

If you do not see the Registrar Forms section listed you will need to add this to your profile. To add Registrar Forms, click on "Make Changes" and then "Add Channel." You will find the "Registrar Forms" channel listed under "Academics".

Full Privacy Status: If you elect full privacy status, no information about you will be released to the general public, unless one of the FERPA exceptions applies. This means that the University

  • Will not include information about you in the printed or online campus directory(s) or telephone directory assistance

  • Will not release your Buff OneCard picture to any requestor (however, you picture is included in photo class rosters).

  • Will not include your name and address in lists or labels requested by off-campus requestors.

  • Will not acknowledge to any third party that you are or were in attendance at the University. University officials, employees, or others who receive external inquiries about you will respond, "We have no information about that individual."

  • Will not list you in commencement materials, including but not limited to commencement ceremony programs, press releases or other graduation related materials.

Limited Privacy Status: If you elect limited privacy status, only limited directory information will be released to the general public, unless one of the FERPA exceptions applies. Compared to a student who has not elected any privacy status, a designation of limited privacy status:

  • Will prevent the release of your name and address to off-campus requestors who desire lists or labels.

  • Will prevent the release of your Buff OneCard picture to any requestor (however, you picture is included in photo class rosters).

  • Will allow University officials to send you only vital but not general correspondence.
