Directory Information Opt Out Form

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as amended, commonly known as the Buckley Amendment, St. Johns River State College defines public or “directory information” as the following: name; major field of study; enrollment status; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; and degrees, honors, and awards received.

Directory information, as defined by St. Johns River State College, may be released at the College’s discretion without the student’s written consent (unless a request for nondisclosure has been received by the Registrar’s Office within 15 days after the close of registration.) Nondisclosure shall remain in effect until the student gives written request to remove said nondisclosure to the Registrar’s Office. Forms are also available in the Registrar’s Office.

Students requesting nondisclosure must consider the ramifications of nondisclosure prior to requesting nondisclosure. A Nondisclosure request will prevent the College from responding to inquiries received from potential or current employers, any agency requesting verifications of enrollment (except as required under FERPA), publications (i.e. student directory), nominations for scholarships or national dean’s lists, and other requests for directory information.

If you do not wish to have your directory information released, please complete, sign, and submit this form to the Registrar’s Office within fifteen (15) days after the close of registration to prevent inclusion in this term’s directory. The election to be excluded from the directory shall remain in effect until the Registrar’s Office is notified in writing. Exclusion requests received later than fifteen (15) days after the close of registration shall be effective for subsequent terms.
