Students may ask the University not to publicly disclose directory information by submitting a request in writing to the Registrars Office, Regent Hall, Room 105 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students may restrict disclosure of directory information by electing either full privacy or limited privacy status. You may remove such a restriction at any time by submitting another written request to the Registrars Office.

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 student photo ID.
  
  
• 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 One Card photo.
  
  
• Will allow University officials to send you only vital but not general correspondence.
