Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information
Directory information (as defined by Alfred State College) includes name, addresses, telephone numbers, Alfred State College e-mail address, dates of attendance, date and place of birth, college major, expected date of graduation, degrees and awards received, photographs, participation in officially recognized sports and activities, weights and heights of athletes, and most recent, previous educational institution attended. The College can release this information without the student’s written request. However, under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students have the right to refuse to permit disclosure of any or all of those items without their prior written consent. Students who prefer not to have their directory information disclosed must sign a statement so attesting. This can be done in the Office of Enrollment Services before 11 a.m. of the census date (last day to register) and to continue in effect, must be done each and every semester of the student’s attendance. Under FERPA, if the Office of Enrollment Services does not hear from a student by that time, the student’s directory information may be released. Alfred State College’s policy is that student directories
will be available for internal use only.
The Office of Enrollment Services will issue
these directories to offices upon request.
Distribution of student directories including (labels) to third
parties is prohibited. This
is in compliance with provisions of FERPA.
Further, the Office of Enrollment Services will
provide directory information to the military upon written request as
mandated by the Solomon Amendment.
