| The Contact and Privacy Info app has a Wizard mode that is used to guide students through a process of updating their information. |
Instructions
The wizard mode of the contact and privacy info app is a special mode that guides students through a process of updating and verifying their information. There are also extra screens and forms available in this wizard that are not usually available in this app.
As students progress through the wizard, they will see a bar at the top letting them know what step they are on. If the page requires their attention, like checking the box at the bottom, the "action required" label will appear. They will also be prevented from progressing past this tab until all steps on this page are completed. The mobile version of these pages does not have the progress bar, but will indicate what step the student is on and will also display the action required label. Note: all other screenshots in this guide also have an "employee addresses" tab, which will appear if the student is also an employee.
At the bottom of the page, students will have to check a box at the bottom to verify that the information is correct. This ensures that they have viewed the entire contents of the page.

Once they have signed up for emergency notifications, they will be shown the primary number they registered with, and then directed to the RAVE website for further changes. They also are given an opportunity to sign up for enrollment notifications.
A brief description of each notification type is shown, but a user can click "Learn More" to read about each one.

Universities have the right to release a student's directory information to outside entities, but only if the request meets the statute's requirement that the requesting party have a legitimate educational interest in those specific records. See below for more details.
Students are highly encouraged to understand how the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affects them.

- Directory Information
- UWF may publish and release the directory information of a student unless the student elects to "opt out" and prevent the release of this information to the general public. The “opt-out” restriction you place on your record while a student will remain in place indefinitely until revoked by your request. Additionally, your name will not appear or be released in university publications including campus directories, honors recognitions, publications, graduation lists, in the commencement program at graduation, or in response to public records requests. Alumni or former students no longer in attendance must contact the Office of the Registrar to change the release of Directory Information.
- What is Directory Information?
- name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, e-mail address;
- most recent previous institution attended, grade classification (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or Graduate Student) major field of study, awards, honors (including Deans' list), degrees conferred (including dates);
- past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities, physical factors (height, weight of athletes), date and place of birth;

- Full Confidentiality Hold
- In rare cases, a student may need additional privacy protection that is not covered in suppressing their directory information. If a student elects to have the Registrar's Office place a Full Confidentiality Hold on their record, it means that all conversations about your educational record must be conducted in person or via your UWF email account. We cannot discuss your record with you (or anyone you designate) over the phone, fax, regular mail, or any email address other than your official UWF email account. In this section, if the student elects this option, they will click the red " Request Full Confidentiality" button. This sends your request electronically to the Registrar Office staff who will explain the ramifications and verify with the student that this is how they wish to proceed.
- In addition, the Full Confidentiality Hold has the same restrictions as suppressing Directory Information (see previous section).
