Disadvantages of Restricting Data

If you restrict directory information, the restriction remains in effect until you formally notify the Records Office in writing to remove it, even after you graduate or cease enrollment. Some learners have experienced considerable inconvenience by restricting their directory information as Northwest Technical College is unable to verify degrees earned, dates of attendance or enrollment status to any third parties (including future employers) while the restriction is in effect.
