Privacy Policy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires Engineering Career Services (ECS) to obtain student consent before disclosing personally identifiable information (grades, social security numbers, or any other information) in students’ educational records to third parties (any individual or organization other than the student or his/her parents—such as an employer). Disclosure pertains to the hand delivery, mail, fax, or electronic transmission of information, including access to career services’ databases of students’ resumes.

ECS takes reasonable and appropriate measures to ensure that the personal information we collect is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Although we gather user demographics and information to compile statistics or analyze services, this does not personally identify students, nor will it be made available to third parties unrelated to the express purpose of ECS, unless required by law. However, since the Internet is an open system, there is no absolute guarantee that the personal information entered will not be intercepted by others. Although this possibility is remote, it does exist.
