Directory Information

Unless otherwise notified in writing, the university may release the following directory information upon request: student’s name (both preferred and legal); current address; telephone number; email address; major field of study; dates of attendance; student clubs and organizations; athletics team and intramurals; and honors, degrees and awards received. The university will publish the student’s name, major field of study, and email address in its Internet-accessible directory.

Students who wish to block the release of directory information must notify the Office of the Registrar in person at 1Capen or in writing using the Request for Directory and Information Release/Non-Release (PDF). Students should consider the consequences of blocking the release of directory information very carefully since, once blocked, all future requests for contact information from UB persons (on nonessential matters) and from non-institutional persons and organizations (such as scholarship organizations or prospective employers) will be denied. Once blocked, a student may elect to release their information again by submitting an updated form.

Students should be aware that even if they decide to prevent release of their directory information, information will be shared within the university for educational and administrative purposes.
