Confidentiality

SFU has a policy that upholds confidentiality of students. In the case of current students, we can neither confirm nor deny that they are students attending SFU. Students who have graduated are part of public record and can be identified as SFU graduates (as per section 22 (4) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). In cases where a person attended but did not graduate or did not attend at all, we simply state that the University has no record of this individual graduating from SFU.

Examples:

• We cannot confirm or deny that Reginald Johnston is attending SFU.
• Rhonda Smith graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1999.
• We have no record of Georgia Brown graduating from SFU.
