PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION MUST BE SHREDDED
This is a reminder to all faculty and staff from the
Registrar’s Office and the Office of Human Resources. Any printed material that contains either student or employee personally identifiable information must be shredded. It cannot be thrown into the garbage or with the recyclables. Employees who do not have access to departmental shredders can use the shredder that is located in the Print Shop, in the basement of the Administration Building. Questions regarding student information should be referred to Maureen P. Artale, College Registrar, at x3216. Questions regarding employee information should be referred to Human Resources at x2509.
REMINDER ON POSTING GRADES
Federal law (FERPA) prohibits posting grades using student names and/or identification numbers. However, it is permissible to post by code name or number (not the Oneonta I.D. number, social security number, or any part thereof) agreed to by the student and the faculty member. Wherever you post grades, please scramble the names on the roster before assigning codes so that the list does not reflect an alphabetical listing of your roster. It is also against FERPA regulations to leave students’ graded work in a general pick up area. Graded course work must be returned individually to students. Please be aware that under no circumstances may a listing of student names and ID numbers, or any part thereof, be posted for any reason. Violations of this law can result in termination of Federal funding to the college. Questions regarding the privacy of student records should be directed to Maureen P. Artale, College Registrar at x3216 or via e-mail at artalemp@oneonta.edu.
STUDENTS HANDLING EXAMS - A REMINDER
Students must not be involved in the preparation, duplication, transportation or distribution of examinations. In addition, students including undergraduate teaching assistants, must not be permitted to grade, or in any manner process tests or papers. This includes using the Scan Tron machines to grade tests or quizzes and distributing graded materials to other students. If you have questions regarding this, please contact Maureen P. Artale, College Registrar, at x3216.
