Please Read Carefully
Signing the attached "Request to Withhold Directory Information" form will:
Mean your presence on campus will no longer be acknowledged to anyone.
Prevent campus offices from verifying any information regarding your record to
anyone, including yourself, over the telephone or in writing without your written
consent. If a call about your record is received, the following response will be
given: "There is no information available on that person."
Prevent your name from appearing in the commencement program
Consider carefully that this will stop any verification for purposes of employment,
loans, credit card applications, insurance, etc. Anytime you need to contact us, it will
have to be in writing or you will need to bring your I.D. to Room 1220 Old Main and
inquire in person.
Students who obtain a personal electronic mail account through the University
should be aware that their name, student status and e-mail address cannot be withheld
from internet access.
The revocation of this restriction must be in writing. The request for revocation
should include your name and E-number, your written signature and a copy of a photo
identification card or drivers license, if the request is mailed to us. If you present the
request in person, you will be asked to present a photo identification card or drivers
license before the restriction will be removed.
If after having read this information, you still want to place a privacy restriction
on your record; complete the attached form and return it to an Office of The Registrar
staff member.
