Washington State University may release directory information contained in a student's education records. "Directory information" means information contained in an education record which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
Directory information includes name (including any former name), local and permanent addresses, telephone numbers, major and minor fields of study, class, participation in officially recognized activities in sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance including number of hours enrolled, degrees, certificates, and awards received including the President's Honor Roll, and the most recent previous educational institution attended by the student.
Students may request that WSU not release directory information by selecting that option in myWSU (myWSU; log in with your WSU Network ID and password and select "my Profile," "Change address or phone," then "Restrict Addresses"). If such a request is made, WSU will not release a student's name in any WSU press releases, including President's Honor Roll notification to hometown newspapers.
Students using this protection are advised that financial aid providers and other interested agencies will not be able to confirm by telephone a student's status as enrolled. More information about Student Rights
