Student Privacy Rights

When you enroll at USF, you become responsible for all actions taken on your student record. All changes to your student record must be made by you via your 国产短视频email or in writing, and not by your parents, or spouse, etc. Never share your username or passwords to USF-assigned accounts. This ensures that your online identity remains both protected and authenticated. 

provide or restrict access to your student record

Do you want to ensure that 国产短视频doesn't release your information?

If you鈥檙e concerned about safeguarding your student record information, . 国产短视频currently defines directory information as:

  • The student's name.

  • The student's classification and major field of study.

  • The student's participation in officially recognized activities and sports.

  • The weight and height of members of athletic teams.

  • The student's dates of attendance, part-time or full-time status, and degrees and awards received.

  • The student's photographic image independent of any additional personal identifiers.

In addition, 国产短视频publishes an internal, password-protected Student Contact List online that contains the following items: Name, 国产短视频e-mail address, institutional affiliations (major, work-study location), college, campus, campus phone and campus mailstop. This online Contact List is available to any member of the University community with an active Net ID to be used only for internal legitimate educational purposes. Reuse or publication of the information outside of the University other than for legitimate educational purposes may result in immediate termination of access to University email and student or employee disciplinary actions. You may request to be excluded from this published Contact List as well as any Directory Information by visiting the link above.

Your request will be in place until you notify Privacy@usf.edu in writing from your 国产短视频email that you wish to rescind your request. What this means for you:

  • Privacy requests become effective within two business days of submission and remain in effect until you provide authorization to the Office of the Registrar to end your request.

  • You will be excluded from USF鈥檚 internal, password protected directory if your request for "Privacy" is received by the Office of the Registrar by the end of the second week of classes in the academic term. No public disclosures will be made before these deadlines. You may continue to request privacy throughout the year, but 国产短视频assumes no responsibility for disclosures made prior to receipt of your request.

  • It is difficult to authenticate a student on the phone without discussing directory information; you may find that the majority of your contact with 国产短视频faculty and staff will need to be in person with photo identification or via your official 国产短视频email.

  • You will not be excluded from reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse or the National Student Loan Data System due to federal reporting requirements. However, when we do send information to these agencies, it will be done so with the privacy flag. These two reporting entities recognize Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (1974) (FERPA) and will maintain that confidentiality.

ensure your record is accurate

You are required to notify the Office of the Registrar when there are record changes involving your name, social security number, addresses, telephone numbers, and external email addresses, even after you leave USF. The best way to update your information is in Student Self-Service (formerly OASIS). If you need help making an update, send your request to AskTheRegistrar@usf.edu from your 国产短视频email address, and we鈥檒l help you navigate the appropriate process.
