Web Privacy Policy
University Housing at The University of Michigan is committed to ensuring the privacy and accuracy of your confidential information. We do not actively share personal information gathered from our Web servers. However, because The University of Michigan is a public institution, some information collected from our Web site, including the summary server log information, e-mails sent to the Web site, and information collected from Web-based forms, may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. This means that while we do not actively share information, in some cases we may be compelled by law to release information gathered from our Web servers.

As part of our commitment to maintain the privacy of our Web users, The University of Michigan has a statement of Student Rights and Records and Guidelines for Implementing the Proper User Policy of the University of Michigan: Responsible Use of Technology Resources. The statement and guidelines have two purposes:

  1. To educate users about privacy issues
  2. To inform users about specific privacy policies and guidelines employed at The University of Michigan.
The University of Michigan also complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which prohibits the release of education records without student permission. Although FERPA regulations apply only to U-M students, The University of Michigan is equally committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our Web site.
