What Information is Considered Directory Information at UNO?
Public Directory Information is student information that is generally available to the public.
Non-Public Directory Information is not available to the public, but is generally available to any University Official or student.
Public Directory Information
- Student name
- Year at the University
- Dates of attendance
- Academic college and major field of study
- Enrollment status (undergraduate or graduate; full-time or part-time)
- Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
- Degrees, honors and awards received
- Most recent educational agency or institution attended
- Hometown
- University email address
Non-Public Directory Information
- Local address
- Permanent address
- Telephone listings
Public Directory information will be available to the public upon request and may be included in student directories published electronically.
This release of this information is not normally considered a violation of a person's privacy and may be disclosed without a student’s written consent unless a student has requested that this information not be released.
What Else Should I Know about Directory Information?
- If you do not have a way of knowing whether or not a student has requested confidentiality of directory information, do not release it.
- Just because you can does not mean you should. The university considers a student's right to privacy to be very important and does not routinely share directory information with third parties. To request that directory information be made confidential, the student should update their FERPA restrictions in MavLINK.
- If a student requests confidentiality of directory information, it is all-or-nothing. In other words, not even the student's name will appear in publications on the Graduation Program.
