Just when you think you know all there is to know about The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, you are asked to provide personal information about a student or an employee to an outside organization. Or you are a student who is concerned that some of your personal information may be incorrect and you want to know how you can access your student file. Or maybe you have been contacted by our office to supply records in response to an Application for Access and are not sure about what documentation to include. What do you do?
FIPPA Facts will provide you with everything you need to know about FIPPA but were afraid to ask. You will learn what is meant by personal information; what constitutes a record; the difference between use and disclosure of personal information; how to respond to a FIPPA Application for Access; proper protection and security for records at the University and more.
