Guidelines for publishing student information:
Under FIPPA, the University is not allowed to confirm or deny the enrolment of any current
undergraduate or graduate student without their consent. Posting current student names on
websites (for example scholarship winners) or academic Curriculum Vitaes (CVs) is considered
confirming enrolment and this should not be done without consent.
Posting student names on websites/academic CVs:
Implicit consent is acceptable to post undergraduate and graduate student names on
websites and/or academic CVs. A record will need to be kept, in the academic unit offices,
that students have been advised of plans to post their names. If any student objects, their
name may not be posted publicly and must be removed if already posted. The following is a
sample notice: “I am/we are planning to post your name on the following web pages…
(include the url). If you object to your name being posted, please advise the writer by return
E-Mail within 5 days. If you do not respond, your consent to post your name will be assumed.”
Posting student names/photos/biographies for publicity purposes:
Explicit consent is required to post undergraduate and graduate student
names/photos/biographies for publicity purposes. A record of consent will need to be kept for
each student as long as their personal information (i.e. name, likeness and other personal
information) is continued to be used. This Consent to Publish Student Information form may
be used for this purpose.
