Disclosure of Directory Information

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), UNC Charlotte has designated the following information about students as public (directory) information:

• Student name, local and permanent address, email address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, class, dates of attendance, enrollment status, degrees and awards (including scholarships) received, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended.

Under the provisions of the Act, you have the right to withhold the disclosure of “directory information” by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing.

The University receives many inquiries for directory information from a variety of sources including prospective employers, other institutions of higher education, honor societies, licensing agencies, government agencies, insurance companies and it is used for the commencement program. Directory information is also printed on our website as part of our student directory.

Please consider carefully the consequences of your decision to withhold “directory information.” We will honor your request to withhold information but cannot assume the responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release this information. Regardless of the effect upon you, UNC Charlotte assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that information be withheld. If you elect to withhold directory information, several issues can and will arise. For instance (this is not a comprehensive list):

• Your name cannot be included in the commencement program when you graduate.
• We cannot confirm for employers, graduate schools, insurance companies or other organizations that you are or have been enrolled.
• We cannot release any information about you to honors programs or certification/ licensing agencies.
