DIRECTORY INFORMATION

You can directly access student, faculty, and staff directory information via the new email system.

This information is the same information available by going to http://search.ou.edu and is what is known as Directory Information. Information contained in these records are considered public information pursuant to University policies, Federal and State laws.   

Public Law 93-380 (also known as the Buckley Amendment, also known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy—Section 438 of the General Educations Provisions Act) permits only the release of “directory information” about students without the student’s written consent. “Directory information” includes: Student’s name, local and permanent addresses, e-mail address, telephone number, college, major, classification, current enrollment status, participation in recognized student activities, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received and dates of receipt, posting of individual student’s grades and interim class evaluations by code number or I.D. number and anticipated date of graduation based on completed hours.

The Law provides that any student may, upon written request, restrict the printing of such personal information relating to himself/herself as is provided in “directory information. ”

File a request to Withhold Student Directory Information form in the Office of Academic Records, 330 Buchanan Hall, or online at http://admissions.ou.edu/addresschangeform.pdf.

The form must be completed by the end of the third week of classes in the fall to prevent printing of “directory information” in the Student Directory.
