Directory information about students
With student email addresses being searchable from the Internet does this significantly increase the amount of email "spam" the College receives?
This is conceivable, but by using Google mail rules spam can be managed within your account.
Will I be able to see which residence hall a student lives in? Which room? From on-campus? From off-campus?
Only student email addresses will be searchable from the Internet. No other information will be provided from the off-campus view. From the on-campus view, the residence hall will be provided as it is today, but with no room number.
Will I be able to search the directory by room number and/or by building name?
You can search currently by building name or by room number (non-student locations) and this will continue, but it will be enhanced. Our goal is to enhance the search criteria to allow searches by different and multiple fields.
How can I opt out of having my home information included in the on-line directory?
Students must send an email to registrar@wellesley.edu requesting to remove home information from the on-line directory.
Will the directory show residence hall/room? From on-campus? From off-campus?
From the on-campus view, the residence hall will be provided as it is today with no room number. Student email addresses only will be searchable from the Internet. No other information will be provided.
How can I opt out of the on-line directory entirely? And what happens if I do?
The only way for a student to opt out entirely from the on-line directory is to go to the Registrar’s Office and request a confidentiality form. This must be done at the Registrar's Office and has many different ramifications. For more information, contact the Registrar’s Office.
Directory information about faculty, staff and union
What do viewers see both from on and off campus with the on-line directory?
The off campus view will include business information, location, phone and department. The on-campus view will now include home information and preferred first name if one has been established.
Will I be able to search the directory by room number and/or by building name?
You can currently search by building name or by room number (non-student locations) and this will continue, but it will be enhanced. Our goal is to enhance the search criteria to allow searches by different and multiple fields.
I'd like to find all the faculty and staff whose offices are on the 3rd floor of Green Hall. How can I do that?
Presently this search is not an option but one we will look into providing as an enhancement.
Will the Internet email address be listed?
Only the Internet email address will be listed. However with the on-campus view the “preferred first name” will be included for faculty, staff and students.
How can I opt out of having my home information included in the on-line directory?
For those faculty and staff members who have asked to have their information removed from the printed directory, this will be the default for the on-line directory. If you are not sure what your status is, log onto Banner web and under Personal Information > Addresses and Phones > if next to the home telephone number it says “Unlisted” your home information will not be available. To make a change to your status, Faculty should contact the Dean of the College Office and Staff should contact Human Resources.
