Directory Information Notice

Albertus Magnus College designates “directory information” as: student name, address, telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, full or part time status, expected date of degree completion and graduation and awards received, class rosters and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. For varsity athletes, “directory information” also includes: height, weight, hometown, and home state. If a student does not wish to have their directory information released, they must complete within two weeks of the beginning of the academic term a nondisclosure form available in the Office of the Registrar in Aquinas Hall.

Once a student completes and submits this form, their directory information will be withheld for life, even after they are no longer a student, unless they rescind the request in writing. A copy of the request will be kept in the student's education file.

• If a student blocks directory information, it may still be inspected by those College officials authorized by FERPA to inspect education records without consent.
• Blocking directory information does not allow a student to be anonymous within the classroom. A student's name, student identification number and College email address cannot be blocked in a class in which a student is enrolled.
• If the College requires a student to wear, to publicly display, or to disclose the student ID card that exhibits information that may be designated as directory information the student cannot block the information.
• If a student blocks their directory information, it cannot be released to friends, family, prospective employers, the news media, student activities and honor societies.
• Some reasons for considering a privacy block on directory information may include harassment, or the advice of a legal or medical professional.
• If a student would like to keep “directory information” private, but release information so it can be published in commencement programs and honor lists, they must contact the Office of the Registrar in Aquinas Hall and submit their request in writing. A copy of the request will be kept in the student's education file.
