“Directory Information” may be made available to the general public unless the student had previously notified the Office of Student Records in person or in writing of their desire that such information not be released. Loyola considers the following as “directory information:”
Student's name, telephone numbers, all addresses, e-mail address, place of birth, college, major, honors, awards, photographs for University publications/web site use, classification, dates of enrollment, enrollment status, degrees conferred, dates of conferral, graduation distinctions and the institution attended immediately prior to admission.
All requests for disclosures of non-directory information regarding deceased students must be submitted in writing to Office of Student Records. Such request must (1) specify the individual records requested, (2) indicate a purpose for the disclosure of the records, and (3) identify the recipients of the information requested.
The requestor(s) must be identified as a party with a legitimate interest in non-directory information regarding the decedent. A party with a legitimate interest in non-directory information regarding the decedent typically includes an executor or administrator, or if the estate has already closed, the next of kin in the context of Louisiana’s intestate statute. Additionally, the requestor(s) must also submit a certified copy of the student’s death certificate or provide an authorized court order/subpoena.
Loyola reserves the right to refuse disclosures and/or to notify the estate of the deceased student, if known, prior to releasing the information or responding to requests for non-directory information about the former student.
