Hold on!

What is Directory Information?

Your rights to FERPA begin when you’re in attendance as defined by NCTC, one credit hour or one non-credit is needed to be considered as an enrolled student. FERPA rights continue after you leave NCTC and are only terminated by your written request or upon your death.

You can request that directory information be withheld from the public by giving written notice in person to the Admissions/Registrar Office during the first 12 class days of a Fall or Spring semester or the first 4 class days of a Summer session. If no request to withhold directory information is filed, the information is released when asked for. No transcript or academic record is released without your written consent except as specified by law.

  • Name, address, telephone number
