Privacy policy for members of the Goshen College community

Goshen College collects various kinds of personal information from students, faculty and staff at Goshen College, as well as alumni. Information about members of the campus community is made available online (see the directories page) and in printed directories. The table below is a partial list of information Goshen College distributes, and what members of the college community can do to control what information is made public about them.

Name	Available to the general public
Student e-mail address	Available to the general public online, and in printed directories on-campus
Student ID photo	Available online only on campus, and not in any printed directories. You may elect to hide your ID photo by changing your privacy preferences (GC Online) or contacting the Registrar's office. ID photos are collected at the time of issuing a GC ID card. Currently, the only way to change your ID photo is to get a new GC ID card, which may involve a fee from ITS-media.
Student phone & address	Available only on campus. Contact the Registrar's office to change information.
Faculty/staff e-mail address	Available to the general public. The URL to your default personal home page is also made public.
Faculty/staff home phone	Available only on campus. You may contact in HR to ask that this be hidden even from others on campus.
Faculty/staff photo	Available online to the general public. But, if you've asked that your home phone number be un-listed (on-campus), your photo will also be unavailable to the general public. Contact Public Relations to update your on-file photo.
Faculty information that appears on academic department pages	For example: http://www.goshen.edu/communication/faculty.php Faculty information that appears on pages such as the one above is pulled from our HR database. You should contact in HR if any changes are needed. Additional biographical information can be placed on your personal Web page. Contact for more information about personal pages.
Alumni contact information	Available in the online alumni directory only to other alumni who have signed up for an Alumni Online account. You may choose to hide or show certain kinds of contact information via your Alumni Online profile.

Only on campus

Available only on campus means that this information may be included either

• in printed directories which are distributed only on-campus. To avoid being included in printed directories, you must express your privacy preferences within the first seven days of the beginning of a particular semester you wish to be excluded. Or...
  
  
• online to computers which:
• are physically connected to the campus LAN, identified as having a registered IP name ending in ".goshen.edu". This includes lab computers as well as personal computers in students' dorm rooms. But, computers, such as those in the library, with routine "guest" access will be treated as "off-campus". Or
  
  
• present proof that they're being used by a GC student/faculty/staff member. This might include someone off-campus who has logged in to GCOnline with a valid GC user ID and password, or used a valid GC user ID to connect to GC dialup services.

All 'on campus' directory information whether online or in printed form is for the personal use of students, faculty, staff and those associated with the administration of Goshen College, and may not be redistributed in any medium to others.
