Student education records may not be disclosed to anyone unless the student has given written consent, or the disclosure is a legal exception.

One of the exceptions is the release of directory information about a student. Consent from a student is not generally required for the release of directory information, and it may be viewed and released to the public unless the student has placed a privacy restriction on its release through the CCC Registrar’s Office.

The following directory information may be disclosed as long as the student has not requested a privacy restriction to be placed on his or her records.

Student’s name.

Local and permanent mailing addresses and telephone numbers.

Student’s e-mail address.

Enrollment status: full- or part-time; currently enrolled or not.

Major.

Type of degree being pursued; degrees awarded.

Honors and awards received.

Student’s participation in officially recognized College activities.

Without the proper access, you may not know if a student has placed a privacy restriction on his or her record, which would prevent the release of directory information. Therefore, when in doubt do not release any information about a student to a third party. Instead, contact the Registrar’s Office for assistance.
