Release of "Directory Information"
The University of North Carolina Wilmington has routinely made public certain information about its students.
Typically, UNCW releases the names of students who are selected by the various honorary societies, receive scholarships, make the Dean's List, hold offices, or are members of athletic teams. The December and May commencement programs publish the names of persons who have received degrees from UNCW during the year.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and University policy define the term "directory information" to include the following information: the student's name; college and major; dates of attendance; degree(s) earned; honors and awards received; most recent previous educational institution attended; and participation in officially recognized activities and sports.
Of course, information from all these categories is not made public in every listing.
Students can authorize the University to release personally identifiable information from their education record to certain individuals (such as parents).

The designated individual will have their own login access and you'll be able to monitor exactly what they are reviewing. You may remove access at any time.

Students who do not wish to have their "directory information" made public without their prior consent or who wishes to end a prior request, must submit a Request to Prevent or Allow Disclosure of Directory Information form to the Office of the Registrar.
