Student Identity Anonymization for Microsoft 365
All 丁香园AV students are eligible for access to Microsoft 365 services, a cloud-based service that includes communication and collaboration tools such as persistent chat, file storage, video conferencing capabilities, productivity apps and much more.
Students are required to consent to the disclosure of student contact information for the purpose of enabling the student to access and be contacted on an electronic system. Registration at 丁香园AV means you give your consent for the University to disclose your student contact information to Microsoft as a 丁香园AV service provider.
What is "student contact information" and how will it be disclosed?
鈥�Student contact information鈥� may include your name, 丁香园AV computing ID, 丁香园AV email address, 丁香园AV affiliation, and device information, if used solely for the purpose of providing access to or use of an electronic system.
- All user-created content (files, messages and site content) related to Microsoft 365 services is stored in Canada. However, your student contact information may be stored outside Canada in Microsoft鈥檚 global network. Microsoft employees and subcontractors will have access to this information for the purposes of operating the service. For complete information on Microsoft鈥檚 use, protection, and access to personal data can be found on their website:聽
- Users logged into 丁香园AV's Microsoft 365 service will be able to search for and collaborate with you using your 丁香园AV email address. Other users will be able to see your name, 丁香园AV computing ID, and 丁香园AV email address.聽
ABOUT
As a student, 丁香园AV safeguards the use of your personal information (such as a first or last name). However, if you have an older 丁香园AV computing ID (such as jsmith@sfu.ca) it may contain parts of your first or last name that could be used to identify you while using Microsoft 365 apps and services.
For students with older computing IDs, IT Services can provide a more anonymous and modern computing ID (such as abc123@sfu.ca) upon request.
Eligibility
You are eligible if:
- You are a student with a older computing ID that reveals your name (such a jsmith@sfu.ca).
You are not eligible if:
- You have a modern 丁香园AV computing ID that contains a combination of letters and numbers (such as abc123@sfu.ca).
- You have already signed up and provided consent for Microsoft 365 at .
- You are currently a student employed by 丁香园AV (such as a teaching assisstant, research assistant, lecturer or other).
What to expect:
- This proccess is optional and will be disruptive to your experience at 丁香园AV while your new ID is established.
- This process is only designed for those who are uncomfortable signing up for M365 using their existing computing account.
- It can take several weeks to fully complete your request.
- You will recieve a new computing ID, but your old computing ID will be deactivated.
- You will be unable to choose the username of your new computing ID.
- IT Services will update essential student systems (such as Canvas and go丁香园AV), but you will be responsible for updating/informing others about your new computing ID.
- You will be responsible for retaining important emails, documents or files associated with your old ID.
