"Directory Information" is defined as information contained in an educational record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. It includes, but is not limited to the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, level of education, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended.

Directory information may be released at the discretion of the college; however, under Federal and State law, a student has the right to ask that City College of San Francisco withhold directory information about him/her.  Once the request is made, directory information will be withheld from all entities.  The college assumes no liability for honoring a student's request that such information be withheld.  Students who believe that directory information (that includes courses of study such as Gay and Lesbian Studies, Ethnic Studies, etc.) may identify their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or otherwise subject them to discriminatory treatment, should be aware they have the option of not having any confidential information released to any group, agency or organization.

A request by a student to withhold directory information must be directed to the Dean of Admissions and Records in writing.  This formal request must be made within the first two (2) weeks of the beginning of the academic year.  Students who enroll other than in the beginning of the academic year (fall semester) must submit their request within the first two (2) weeks of the onset of his/her enrollment.  This request must be signed and dated by the student.  Students may also come to the Office of Admissions and Records and complete a "Request to Withold Directory Form."

For further information, please contact Admissions and Records, Conlan Hall, Room E-107, telephone (415) 239-3291.
