Information from this form, along with the subsequent follow-up steps undertaken by the University is subject to and complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is a federal law protecting the privacy of student education records. In accordance with FERPA, we may not be able to share the outcome of our outreach to the students, but we will always confirm that we have received the alert and will respond appropriately.
Information will be shared on a strictly "need to know" basis in order to refer the student to the correct campus resource or intervene as appropriate.
