Institutional data is produced and maintained by other offices at Saint Martin’s University. All employees and external parties have the right to expect the requested institutional data to be accurate, and, all who maintain the institutional data have the responsibility to keep them accurate.

With the exception of mandated reporting to the Federal and State Governments, the requested institutional data will be given in aggregate form; no identifying factors will be included in the dataset unless very specific conditions have been met (this includes demonstrating proven knowledge of and adherence to FERPA and/or HIPAA regulations. See below for more information). Although the use of public datasets does not require adherence to FERPA and/or HIPAA regulations, the institutional datasets should still be handled with care.
