and will not be disclosed to anyone outside the university.
Requesting Information
Personal Information you provide us on our Request Information,
Contact Us, New Student Orientation, On-Line Registration, and Permit to
Register System web pages will not be shared with anyone outside the university, including
any third parties. Wayland - San Antonio does not sell your address, phone
numbers or any other type of data we collect on you.
All information provided by a user to Wayland Baptist
University data servers and web pages will be used only for the purpose in which
the supplier intended it. Wayland Baptist University does not sell or give
personal information to any party outside the University except as follows.
1.
Wayland will release information pertaining to current students only in
accordance with FERPA guidelines (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act).

The University may be required to provide some reports to official data
collection centers, government agencies, financial institutions, and other
similar agencies. Only the information required is provided in these reports
and those agencies are responsible for the continued privacy of that
information.
3.
Employers who pay for a given student’s tuition may require reports on
that student. This information may be released to an employer or other third
party with student request.
4.
While cookies are occasionally used in some web pages owned by the
University, the information collected through these cookies is covered by the
provisions of this privacy statement. Wayland Baptist University will never use

Registration Data
Personal Information you provide us during registration will not
be shared with anyone outside the university, including any third parties.
However, calculated reports revealing student body averages may be provided
to the general public. For example, the average age of our student
body, the number of graduate and undergraduate students, the number of students
enrolled in a particular degree program and major, and the number
and type of government students attending Wayland. Private employers often
express an interest in knowing how many students attending Wayland - San Antonio work
for them. Certain employers, generally those paying part or all of
the tuition costs, require a by name report of students that work for
them. Certain federal government agencies require a grade report
for students they are paying tuition on as well.
Financial Information
Personal Information you provide us to receive financial assistance
will not be shared with anyone outside the university or the financial
institutions used to process loans, payments, or collect funds. If you are a
government employee, we are required to provide reports to certain federal government agencies on students working
for that agency. These reports may include the student's ID number,
name, courses enrolled, grades earned for that course, and amounts to be billed against that
federal agency.
On-Line Forms
Several of our web pages contain forms that
request you enter personal identifying data such as your name, address, phone
number, and possibly your Social Security Number or Wayland Student ID number. These
forms process the information in one of three ways. 1) The collected data
may be sent directly to the staff member responsible for processing that data or
answering your question, 2) the collected data may be posted directly to a database
residing on one of our servers, or 3) the collected data may be sent to a script
on one of our servers for processing and to generate a reply back to you via
a web page.
Cookies
A few of our web pages may set a cookie.
Cookies are small amounts of alphanumeric code that are placed on your hard drive
through your web browser. We use these cookies to facilitate communication
with your web browser, and to enable you to access certain pages without having
to repeatedly type the same information for each page you visit. For example,
if you have an email account through us, the program will set a cookie for the
duration of that messaging session in order to maintain your connection to our
server and process your routing data. Some of our classes may
administer a test using the web, and a cookie is used to maintain your
identifying data during the process of administering and grading the test
on-line. These cookies generally have a duration of 30 days or less. At no
time do we use cookies to maintain personal data such as a Social
Security Number, financial information or the like.
Email Addresses
Email addresses you provide to us are used in
three ways. 1) We use the email address you supply us on a form to respond
back to you, 2) we require a working email address from you during
registration if you register for an Internet based class, and 3) we collect your
email address with your permission using the Time Permit System for mailing
reports and distributing useful information about the Wayland - San Antonio to
you. If you enroll
for an Internet based class, your email address is provided to your
instructor as part of the contact data. If you provide us with an email address for the purpose of
receiving on-going notices of news events etc, then we store your email address
in a database on one of our servers. Email addresses stored on our servers
will be deleted upon your request, or whenever messages are returned for an
invalid address. The email address you provide us will not
be shared with anyone outside the university, including any third parties.
Faculty

Faculty members and students using one of our web
servers to publish a web page should be mindful that our web site is accessed
several thousand times a day from persons worldwide. The university does
not edit individual web pages for faculty and students. It is the individual's responsibility to ensure
that personal identifying data such as phone numbers and addresses that are not
intended for general disposition are not included in these pages.
Any
syllabus submitted to the university for typing by a faculty member will be published to our web site. Faculty members should take care not to include
any personal identifying data in a syllabus.
