Student Directory Information Requests by External Agencies
Section: Student Services
Index: D-10
The Texas Public Information Act (the "Act") entitles individuals to information about the affairs of government in Texas and the official acts of public officials and employees in Texas, unless otherwise expressly provided by law. A Texas Public Information Act request is a request for public information that is maintained by a Texas governmental agency, such as the University of Houston System and any of its component institutions (e.g., the University of Houston ("UH"), the University of Houston-Downtown ("UHD"), the University of Houston-Clear Lake ("UHCL"), and the University of Houston-Victoria ("UHV").
The university honors student directory information requests by external agencies. Student listings will include specifically requested information as long as such requests fall within the Texas Public Information Act (*) guidelines and student public information as designated in the UH-Victoria catalog (*). Students who have requested that no directory information be released will not be included in the listings.
