The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, in accordance with the FERPA Privacy Act, has designated the following categories of information about you as public unless you choose to exercise your right to have any or all of this information withheld. This information will be routinely released to any inquirer unless you request that all or part of this be withheld.
The university receives many inquiries for "directory information" from a variety of sources including friends, parents, relatives, prospective employers, graduate schools, honor societies, licensing agencies, government agencies, and news media.
Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to remove these items from the list of "directory information." Should you decide to inform the university not to release any or all of this "directory information," any future request for such information from non-university persons or organizations will be refused. For example, a prospective employer requesting confirmation of your major field of study or address would be denied access to such items, should you withdraw them from the list of "directory information." The university will honor your request to withhold any of the items listed above but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release them. Regardless of the effect upon you, the university assumes no liability of honoring your instructions that such information be withheld.
Students may withhold Directory Information by completing the
request to withhold directory information form. Please note that
such withholding requests are binding for all information to all
parties other than for those exceptions allowed under the Act.
Students should consider all aspects of a Directory Hold prior to
filing such a request.
Requests for non-disclosure will be in effect until the
student authorizes a change.
