Student Privacy

How do I restrict access of my personal information?

If you are a student: You can restrict access to your directory information, and thus to the information displayed in Blackboard, by submitting a request in person to the Office of the Registrar, Student Academic Records window, Main Building 1. Bear in mind that if you do this, you may have to make special arrangements with your instructor to participate in courses using Blackboard.

Your request to restrict directory information must be received in the Registrar's Office by the twelfth class day of the fall semester, in order to prevent the information from appearing in the Official Directory. The restriction remains in effect until you request its removal in person at the Office of the Registrar.

If you are faculty or staff: Instructor information must appear in Blackboard in order for you to function in the course. Faculty and staff (unless they are also students) cannot restrict their information.
