  FERPA Non-Disclosure Form »

IMPORTANT NOTE
If you wish to prevent your picture from being published to the student directory, you must complete the FERPA Non-Disclosure form and return it to us.  You are not required to re-submit the form after that unless you wish to change your privacy status.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, sets forth requirements regarding the privacy of student records. FERPA governs:

1. Release of these records (known as education records) maintained by an educational institution and
2. Access to these records.

Under the requirements of the law, schools are required to notify students annually of their rights. Student rights are as follows:

• Right to inspect and review their educational records.
• Right to request to amend their educational records.
• Right to limit disclosure of some "personally identifiable information" (information that would directly identify the student or make the student’s identity easily traceable) known as directory information.

Directory Information includes:
student name
address
telephone listing
email address
photograph
major field of study
dates of attendance
degrees, honors and awards received

It is the policy of Saybrook Graduate School that your basic contact information (name, email address, degree, concentration, photograph, and biography) be posted in the SMS student directory - available only to registered Saybrook faculty, students and administration. Should you not wish to have your photograph posted in the SMS student directory, please print out the form using the link above, sign and date it and return to:

Office of the Registrar
Saybrook Graduate School
747 Front St.
San Francisco, CA 94111-1920

*NOTE: Saybrook Graduate School will not release any information to external agencies/individuals without the express written consent of the student.

If this form is not received in the Office of the Registrar by the beginning of the semester it will be assumed that all information may be disclosed for the remainder of the academic year. A new form for non-disclosure purposes must be completed each semester.
