Registration Policy Update: System Abuse

by Matt Saavedra on April 25, 2012

The Office of the Registrar updated the Registration Policies page to address the use of scripts, robots, and automated queries against university systems. The updated policy states:

Because use of scripts, robots, or other automated queries can adversely impact University network and computing resources and interferes with equal access to registration, such automated querying of registration-related resources is expressly forbidden. Violators may have their access to University network and computing resources terminated and may be subject to action by the University under applicable law, regulation, or policy, including but not limited to, discipline under any applicable University conduct code

Questions about this and other registration policies should be submitted through the Office of the Registrar contact form.

The Office of the Registrar in partnership with the Office of the CISO is pleased to announce the availability of a new online training module for UW faculty and staff. This brief training module (15 minutes) illustrates best practices for handling records that contain Social Security Number (SSN) information.

The Office of the Registrar is currently pursuing methods of limiting the use of SSNs from electronic student records and transcripts to better enhance the privacy of student data.

Information covered in the online training module includes:

  • Legacy use of SSNs at UW
  • SSN security incidents in higher education
  • Steps to securing SSNs
  • Approved uses of SSNs at UW
  • Information on reporting an incident

Access the training from the Office of the CISO site here:
