Student Directory Information
In accordance with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas policy and the U.S. Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA),
UNLV vigorously protects the privacy of student education records. UNLV does not release private records of individual students, such
as grades and class schedules, without prior written consent of the student.
As permitted under federal law, the sole exception to the above practice is the release of “directory” information considered to be
public in nature and not generally deemed to be an invasion of privacy. At UNLV, the following categories are defined as “directory”
information: Name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, dates of attendance, full-time/part-time status, academic major,
college and grade level, heights and weights of members of athletic teams, academic honors, other academic institutions recently
attended, participation in UNLV organizations, and degrees earned and dates attended.
UNLV uses directory information for non-commercial, educational purposes, such as to mail notices to students about changes in
policies, services, or opportunities. Directory information may also be provided for commercial purposes to UNLV affiliates, honors
societies, the alumni association and foundation, or other individuals for purposes that may be beneficial to students. UNLV exercises
discretion in responding to requests for directory information and may or may not provide such information when requested,
depending on the intended purpose of the request. UNLV does not sell or rent student information for a fee.
You have the right to request that UNLV not release directory information about you for commercial and/or non-commercial purposes.
WARNING: It is important to consider carefully the potential consequences of restricting the release of directory information. For
example, if you restrict release for non-commercial educational purposes, UNLV will be unable to place your name in publications
such as honors and graduation programs; to confirm graduation and dates of attendance to potential employers; to verify enrollment
with organizations such as insurance companies; or to send notifications about specialized scholarships.
If, after due consideration, you wish to restrict the release of directory information, please check one of the boxes below indicating
your authorization.
[ ] Remove my name from directory from directory information for commercial purposes. Commercial purposes would include
such organizations that provide health insurance, tuition payment plans, invitations to join academic organizations, or the alumni
association. The organizations provide students with information, services and benefits.
[ ] Remove my name from directory information for non-commercial purposes. Non-commercial purposes would include such
purposes as publications in honors and graduation programs, verification of enrollment for health insurance, degree verification for
employment, invitations to apply for specialized scholarships, or invitations to attend specialized activities or workshops.
[ ] Remove my name from directory information for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
[ ] I previously asked to remove my directory information for one of the purposes listed above, and now wish to allow release of my
directory information.

professional interviews (normally in the spring semester of their
junior year), they should contact the Office of the Pre-Professional
Advisor 702-895-3170 in order to obtain a Pre-Professional
interview packet, which contains information and instructions
about the interview process. Regardless of the specific major
or curricular path within a major that is chosen, students will

may become a probationary student. A probationary student
must plan a prescribed course of study in physics in consultation
with the faculty advisor assigned by the Physics Department.
Only after the course of study is signed by the advisor, may the
department chair allow the student to register for courses. The
student must maintain a GPA of at least 2.50 in the courses taken
while on probation. Otherwise, the student will be dropped from
the physics program. When the student’s overall GPA rises to
2.50, the student is taken off probation. Refer to the College of
