• Student Profile Information
  such as preferred name and pronoun, residency, VA benefit eligibility, and sport code/identifier, which are added to the profile information collected during admissions
• U-M Academic Records
  such as course registration, grades, program/major/minor selection, degree awarded

The University of Michigan uses student record data to enable:

• Service Support
  Ensure system stability and positive user experience by monitoring service performance, maintaining a reliable record of transactions, and providing end-user support.
• Academic and Enrollment Processes
  Support processes associated with selecting and attending classes, getting a degree, paying for education, managing enrollment, etc.
• Life on Campus
  Provide services, such as emergency alerts, housing, transportation, recreation sports, libraries, immigration and travel support, etc.
• Communications
  Provide you with information on U-M services, events, etc.
• Institutional Planning and Reporting
  Analyze aggregated data sets to identify, evaluate, and respond to trends.
• Research
  Use aggregated data sets for academic research purposes.

The use of student administration data for the purposes outlined above is safeguarded through several mechanisms, including Information Assurance, the Institutional Review Board (IRB), the U-M Standard Practice Guide, and the U-M Data Governance framework.

• Directly
  When you provide it to us during class and travel registration, by updating your personal information in M-Pathways Student Business, etc.
• Automatically
  When student administration systems generate and store data based on visits, interactions, and system automated rules.
• From U-M Faculty and Staff
  When they record information on activities, such as grades, declaration of major, degree completion, academic honors, academic discipline and probation, etc.

The University of Michigan does not sell or rent your student record information. We share it with:

• Service Providers
  that support student administration systems and services offered by the university. We require our service providers to keep your personal information secure and use it only for providing services on the university’s behalf.
• Government Entities
  that have mandatory reporting requirements, such as the State of Michigan’s Center of Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) where we provide personal/demographic data, academic/course history (i.e. transcript), and degrees awarded, and the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) where we provide international student information.
• Regulating Organizations
  such as National Student Clearinghouse where we report on personal data, academic information such as major, enrollment reporting data (total credits and academic load); National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) where the U-M Athletic department shares student athlete data, such as sport code, registration status, grades and GPA, etc.

There are also rare occasions when personal information is shared when required by law, or to protect the safety, property, or rights of the university, its community members and guests.
