DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Under Public Law 93-380, as amended, Rend Lake College may make accessible to any person external to the college “directory information” concerning a student, unless that student notifies the Office of Student Records that he or she objects to the release of such information. Directory information is considered to be public in nature and will be released at any time upon request without prior approval from the student. Notice is therefore given that the directory information listed below in respect to each student enrolled at Rend Lake College will be available to any person unless the student files in writing with the Office of Student Records a request to restrict release of student directory information to external sources. The college has designated the following as directory information:

• Student name
• Student local (and home) address and telephone number
• Date of birth
• E-mail address
• Photograph
• Full-time or part-time status
• Dates of attendance
• Major fields of study
• Degrees and awards received
• Most recent previous institution attended
• Participation in officially recognized activities/sports
• Weight, height, and pictures of members of athletic teams

Any student enrolled who does not wish to have released any or all of the above listed items of information should contact, in person, the Office of Student Records in the Administration Building within the first two weeks of the semester. Students who elect to restrict release of information must sign a statement to that effect. The restriction on the release of student information does not expire unless a student submits a request in writing to the Office of Student Records.
