FERPA Q&A

Q: Should I add a confidentiality notice to my signature line in emails? I have noticed others at the University have done this.

A: Academic Support Resources advises against putting these statements in your emails. Notices like this do not carry legal weight outside of certain areas like attorney-client privilege, and we still need to follow our policy of reporting security incidents and notifying individuals involved in the event private data is misdirected. The University of Minnesota email accounts are secure and have authentication requirements to ensure security.
