Re: Parental Email Access for Deceased Students

Our policy on these requests is that the Dean of Students considers and may approve.

If approved, we export the emails to a file and provide that for release.  We do not grant online access.

Many of us, from time to time, have the unfortunate occurrence of a student that passes away while at school.  A question was brought to me regarding the granting of access to a deceased student’s email by the parents.  If any of your institutions have a policy regarding this, either yes, no or it depends, I would love to pass it along to our senior leadership.

Thanks and have a great day,

Jim
