How do I look someone up in the UT Directory?Go to directory.utexas.edu and sign in with your UT EID.
The directory covers current students, faculty, and staff. It pulls student listings from the Registrar and faculty and staff listings from Human Resource Services.
UT also adds security features to stop people from trawling the directory. They can make some searches harder.
Why can’t I find a student in the directory?They may have restricted their info.
UT lets any current student remove their directory information from public listings, and it stays removed until they undo it.
If you need to reach them, try a shared class or club, or ask them for their contact info directly.
How do I take myself out of the directory?Use Restrict My Info in UT Direct.
Open Restrict My Info and choose where your directory information appears. You’ll need to do it in the first 12 class days of a semester, or the first 4 of a summer term.
After that window, email the Registrar’s student records team at [email protected].
Can faculty and staff hide their listing?They can ask UT to hold back some of it.
UT says faculty and staff may request that some of their own information not be released. Their listings come from Human Resource Services.
Can I use the directory to email a lot of students?No.
UT bars using the directory for unsolicited email, selling, or other commercial purposes. You can’t reproduce or transfer what you find without UT’s written permission.
