Limited Directory Data

  • Notwithstanding any other provision of this policy, the following information is defined as Limited Directory Data for purposes of sharing with LeadMN so the association can communicate with their members: Student name, institutional email address, and Student Change Code (NEW/RTN/DROP).

Withholding Student Directory Information
