This official notice regarding Directory Information refers to detailed information held by and released by the Office of the Registrar when there is valid need.  Most of the time, when you hear the word Directory on campus, it refers to the Luther Seminary Directory which refers to the on-line directory on MyLutherNet.  It contains photos, mailing address, phone number, degree program and email address for students and office location, office telephone and email address for faculty and staff.

Student information contained in an education record that generally would not be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed is identified as directory information. 

Directory information contained in seminary records is released upon request at the discretion of Luther Seminary and only for official business related to the educational process.

Luther Seminary hereby designates the following categories of student information as directory information to be released upon request without student consent, unless we are notified otherwise from the individual student.

Students may refuse disclosure of directory information by informing the Office of the Registrar in writing. A hold on releasing specific information will remain in effect until the student files a specific request to remove it. If a student does not specifically request the withholding of directory information, Luther Seminary assumes that the student approves of the disclosure of such information.
