Directory Information

Essex County College designates the following categories of student information as public "Directory Information." Such information may be disclosed by the institution at its discretion, subject to certain exceptions:

NOTE: Primary address and/or email address will be shared with designated vendors providing the following external services to graduating students: Information about purchasing class rings, yearbooks, commencement photos. The College may disclose any of those items without prior written consent, unless notified in writing to the contrary by the end of the second week of the semester.

 

Currently enrolled students may restrict the release of Directory Information by notifying the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs in writing each semester during the first 10 days of class of a fall and spring semester, and the first 5 days of a summer term. The College will honor a request to withhold information but cannot assume responsibility to contact the student for subsequent permission to release them. Regardless of the effect upon the student, the institution assumes no liability as a consequence of honoring instructions that Directory Information be withheld. The College assumes that failure on the part of the student to request the withholding of Directory Information indicates individual approval for disclosure.

 

A student's notification to restrict the release of Directory Information will remain in effect until the student submits written notice to release the information.
