Directory Information Block (DIB)
If you do not want APUS to disclose directory information about you without your prior written consent, you must request a Directory Information Block (DIB.)
If you wish to request a DIB, you should e-mail the request to [email protected]. Your e-mail should specify which category or categories of directory information you wish to prevent APUS from disclosing. Once processed, a DIB will be placed in your account. Once set, it will remain in place until you authorize its removal. The e-mail requesting to rescind the DIB must be received by the Office of Student Records at [email protected].
