As a contractor/volunteer of Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania I understand that I may
have access to confidential, personal data and/or records of University employees, students,
customers, and other related constituents. I agree that I will access, use, discuss, release and/or
divulge only the data that is needed to perform my job. I understand that I am prohibited from
access, using, discussing, releasing, and/or divulging this data unless doing so is a requirement of
my job.
I further understand that unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and records applies
to all information on the University computing/networking systems, all printed information, as
well as formal and informal verbal conversations.
I understand that any release of this information will be done only through authorized protocols.
Breaches in confidentiality of such data may result in disciplinary action up to and including
separation from employment and in the case of student employees and graduate assistants,
possible University judicial action. A violation of this agreement also may result in legal action
if it is determined that any local, state, or federal laws have been violated.
I have had the opportunity to discuss this responsibility with a representative of the University,
and by my signature below, I am certifying that I have read, understand, and agree to abide by
the provisions of this statement.
I also agree to notify the Human Resources Office at Shippensburg University at the end of this
assignment and return any property due to the University at that time.
