Disclosure of Student Records
In general, no personally identifiable information from a
student's education records will be disclosed without written
consent from the student. Two exceptions may,
however, be made: (1) directory information will be
released unless the student requests that it be withheld, as
explained in the section below; (2) records may be disclosed
to parents of students who depend upon them as
defined by Internal Revenue Code 1954, Section 152. The
university will consider all students as "dependent" unless
they specifically inform the Office of Student Personnel
Services within twelve (12) calendar days from the first
day of final registration each term that they are independent
of their parents as defined above.Public Notice Designating Directory Information
Abilene Christian University hereby designates the following
categories of student information as public or "Directory
Information." Such information may be disclosed by
the institution for any purpose, at its discretion.
Category I--Name, classification, major field of study,
home address, local residence, telephone number (Hello
Book information).
Category II--Previous institutions attended, dates of attendance,
awards, honors (including Dean's list), degree(s)
conferred (including dates), church affiliation, past andpresent participation in officially recognized sports and activities,
physical factors (height, weight of athletes), date
and place of birth.
Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of
either or both categories of information under the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. To withhold
disclosures, written notification must be received in the Office
of Student Personnel Services within twelve (12) calendar
days from the first day of registration for each long
terms and four (4) days for summer terms. Forms requesting
the withholding of "Directory Information" are available
in the Student Personnel Services office on the first
floor of McKinzie Hall, West. Abilene Christian University
assumes that failure on the part of any student to
specifically request the withholding of categories of "Directory
Information" indicates individual approval for disclosure.Non-Discrimination Notice
