Students at Utah State University are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its regulations.
Under FERPA, Directory Information relating to the student is considered to be public information unless the student formally
requests in writing that it be kept condential. This form serves to process such requests.
Directory (Public) Information includes:
Name, User ID (A-Number), local and permanent address, electronic mail address, telephone number, date of birth, residency status,
degrees and awards received, most recent institution attended by the student, academic level, major eld of study, department or
college, enrollment status (undergraduate or graduate, full-time or part-time), participation in ofcially recognized activities/sports,
dates of attendance and graduation, weight/height of members of athletic teams, and photographs.
Block the Release of Directory Information. This option will prohibit Utah State University from releasing my directory
information except as specied under FERPA. The completion of this form will also prevent the Registrar’s Ofce from
releasing my own directory information to me unless I personally present valid identication at the Registrar’s Ofce.
Phone requests from me for directory information will not be accepted. Any future requests for such information from
persons or organizations unafliated with Utah State University will be refused. Specic questions regarding my records
must be resolved either in person with picture ID, or by mail/fax request with photocopy of a picture ID and my signature.
Utah State University cannot assume responsibility to contact me for subsequent permission to release this information.
Regardless of the effect upon me, Utah State University assumes no liability as a result of honoring my instructions that this
information be withheld. This restriction will remain in force until I complete a form to change this request.
Allow the Release of Directory Information (if previously blocked). This option will revoke any and all previous
declarations from me to block the release of my directory information. The revocation allows Utah State University to treat
my directory information as public information from this date forward and invalidates any previous instructions to the con-
trary.
Action to be taken (check one)
I hereby request that the Registrar’s Ofce take the above indicated action to either block or allow access to my Directory Information
as dened above. I have read and understand the consequences of the action requested above. This action will remain in force until I
complete a form to change this request.
