How can I restrict the release of public directory information?
According to the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Office of Academic Records and Registrar, you can request that USC not release any directory information about yourself. At USC, students who wish to restrict the release of directory information about themselves must complete a “Request To Restrict Directory Information” form, available in the lobby of John Hubbard Hall or by e-mail at gtv@usc.edu. Students have the choice of restricting online student directory information, or they can restrict the release of all of their directory information. The completed form must be submitted in person to the Registrar’s office and must be accompanied by a photo I.D. Students will be required to renew the request at the beginning of each academic year.
