Policies on Access and Use of Student Information
WebSIS
is a web-based interface to MIT's student information
database. At this stage of development, WebSIS provides:
students with full access to their personal records;
instructors and departmental administrators with access to
class lists; and advisors and departmental administrators
with access to the academic records of their students.
Access to student
records is governed by MIT's Student
Information Policy
which was designed in compliance with federal legislation that was formulated
to protect students' privacy (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974). Within this context, MIT's policy was also designed to facilitate
access by faculty and administrators to students' records whenever it
is needed for legitimate educational uses.
Recipients of student
information accessed from WebSIS records are expected to use them in accordance
with MIT's Student
Information Policy
and WebSIS policies.
Students' Personal Records
Class Lists and Related Records for Use by Instructors and Departmental Administrators
Students' Academic Records for Use by Advisors and Departmental Administrators
Before posting student information to web pages, see section 7.2 of the Student Information Policy.
