Under current University policy, the term "Directory Information" includes a student's name, confirmation of enrollment, date of enrollment, degree earned (if applicable), and major course of study.

d)  The right to seek the amendment of the content of a student's records on the grounds that the records are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights.
