We sent a cease and desist letter to them as they had a ‘connection’ to our LMS, they then replied on who the correct 
contact would be to initiate this connection. We are not addressing the collaboration or the unsolicited emails.

Hello Everyone, 
 
Has anyone dealt with the site http://getstudyroom.com, also goes by the name StudyRoom.  It’s a social networking 
type of site promoting to students the ability to work together on class assignment.  What WVU is experiencing is 
that when students sign up on this site that there’s an increase in unsolicited e-mail to students from the 
@getstudyroom.com domain.  It’s also thought that StudyRoom uses students’ login credentials to attempt access to 
other university sites.  Thanks.
