Subject: [SECURITY] FERPA and E-mailing grades

 

After a lot of time googling this topic, I'd appreciate comments from
the group regarding faculty using e-mail to send grades to individual
students. While it may be obvious that sending grades to a public
account like gMail isn't a good idea, what about internal mail systems?
Do you have specific policies or communications from the US Dept of Ed
on this topic?

 

Thanks

 

Bob
