Public Directory Information
Prior consent of the student is not required for disclosure of portions of the educational record defined by the College as Directory Information. Pensacola State College includes the following as Directory Information:
Whether or not the student is currently enrolled;
Dates of registered attendance;
Degree(s) earned, date, major or field of concentration, and honors received;
Participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and
Weight and height of members of athletic teams.
Directory Information may be released by or published by the College without prior written consent of the student unless the student submits a formal request to withhold the release of Directory Information.
Request for Confidential Status of Directory Information
A student may request that no information, including Directory Information, be released except as required by law. The student must complete the Request for Confidential Status of Directory Information form available in the Admissions and Records Office or any Student Services Office. A student’s request to prevent the release of any information will result in preventing the publication of all items including graduation, honors, and awards. Further, queries to the College by prospective employers regarding dates of enrollment and graduation information will not be answered. Students are encouraged to contact the Admissions and Records Office with any concerns about confidentiality of records and release of information. The Request for Confidential Status of Directory Information will not prevent the release of information to an eligible parent or legal guardian, and subpoenas will be honored regardless of the request for confidential status.
