In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, the College defines certain information as public directory information. Directory information may be released without the student’s written consent. The following information is maintained in the Registrar’s Office and designated as directory information:

1. Name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance
2. Previous institution(s) attended, major field of study, awards, honors, degrees conferred.
3. Past and present participation in officially recognized activities, date and place of birth.

Students may request the withholding of directory information by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing, specifying the categories to be withheld, within ten (10) calendar days from the first scheduled day of the term. Ivy Tech will honor the request for one term only. Therefore, the student must file the request on a semester basis. The student should carefully consider the consequences of any decision to withhold any category of directory information. Regardless of the effect upon the student, Ivy Tech assumes no liability for honoring a student’s request that such information be withheld. Failure on the part of a student to request the withholding of specific categories of directory information indicates the student’s approval of disclosure. Ivy Tech Community College reserves the right to limit the release of directory information to any individual, organization, or third party.
