Request for Directory & Information Release/Non-Release

Unless otherwise notified in writing, the University at Buffalo has your permission to release the following directory information upon request: your name, current address, telephone number, email address, major field of study, dates of attendance and degree and awards received. The university will also publish your name, major field of study and email address in its internet-accessible directory.

If you wish to request that this information be released or reverse your decision to release it, you must complete this form. You may do this at any time and as many times as necessary. However, it is important that you consider very carefully the consequences of a decision to withhold "directory information." Should you select not to authorize release, any and all future requests for contact information from UB persons (on non-essential matters) and from non-institutional persons and organizations (such as scholarship organizations, prospective employers) will be denied.

You should also be aware that even if you decide to prevent release of your directory information, information will be shared within the university for educational and administrative purposes. For a complete statement of your rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), see Article 8 (Administrative Regulations) of the University’s Student Conduct Rules, University Standards, and Administrative Regulations (PDF).

Please note that all information and your signature must be included for processing.
