Confidentiality Policy Statement and Opt-Out Instructions
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects you, and academic information about you, from being disclosed to unauthorized parties without your consent. We are allowed to disclose what is defined as “Directory Information,” although we exercise great caution before releasing this information. At the Tuck School, directory information is defined as your name, age and date of birth, student ID number, dates of attendance, enrollment status, class year, degree(s) sought, degree(s) receipt or non-receipt, degree(s) awarded date(s), major, awards and honors earned, address and telephone number, school email address, place of birth, previous educational institutions attended and degrees awarded, participation in extracurricular activities, your student photo, your hometown, your spouse/partner name, places and lengths of employment, a student-employee’s employing Dartmouth business unit, and whether or not you have permanent work authorization in the United States.
Information about students is shared as part of Tuck’s daily operations. De-identified data may also be used by Tuck faculty for research. An enrolled student may refuse to permit the release of any information, including “directory information,” about them. This must be done annually, via email, to the Tuck Registrar. The student who has made such a request is responsible also for submitting a written request that this restriction be removed.
To request a confidentiality flag for your record, send an email to the Tuck Registrar.
What this means:
- Your name will not appear on public (external) lists of Tuck students; your status as a student enrolled at Tuck will not be acknowledged outside of the school.
- Your name and picture will be included in TuckConnect, as access to these sites requires authentication for Tuck students, faculty, and staff. Your current address and other biographical information will not appear.

Consent to Record
Many course meetings and other curricular and co-curricular gatherings that are open to multiple students are recorded.
By enrolling at Tuck,
- I affirm my understanding that Tuck faculty and staff may record Tuck course sessions and any associated meetings open to multiple students and the instructor, including but not limited to scheduled and ad hoc office hours and other consultations, within any digital platform, including those used to offer any remote instruction for Tuck courses. Further, faculty and staff may record co-curricular gatherings open to the Tuck community within any digital platform, including those used to offer remote delivery of co-curricular content.
- I further affirm that Tuck faculty own the copyright to their instructional materials, of which any course session recordings constitute a part, and my distribution of any of these recordings in whole or in part to any person or entity other than other members of the course without prior written consent of the instructor may be subject to discipline by Tuck up to and including expulsion.
Students are also required to obtain consent to record one-on-one meetings and sessions.
By enrolling at Tuck, I hereby affirm that I will not make a recording in any medium of any one-on-one meeting with any course instructors or another member of a course or group of members of a course without obtaining the prior written consent of all those participating, and I understand that if I violate this prohibition, I will be subject to discipline by Tuck up to and including expulsion, as well as any other civil or criminal penalties under applicable law. I understand that an exception to this consent applies to accommodations approved by Dartmouth Student Accessibility Services for a student's disability, and that one or more students in a class may record class lectures, discussions, and review sessions and take pictures of essential information, and/or be provided class notes for personal study use only.
