Information Security Notice

Ivy Tech Community College considers the security of student information a very serious matter and works diligently to maintain very high standards in this area. For this reason we have created this web site as a tool to help answer your questions regarding a recent communication you may have received regarding the inadvertent disclosure of personal information.

What Happened?
On July 28, an employee of the college used an internal file sharing system to send a file that consisted of students enrolled in the spring 2008 semester for distance education courses. The employee intended to share the file with a single employee of the college. Instead, due to a clerical error, the invitation to view the file was sent to a list of all Indianapolis region employees.

Through our review of this list, only 102 employees attempted to open the file. Upon discovery of this disclosure, the file was immediately deleted and no further access was available to the file. 

What should you do now?

• Monitor your credit.
  • While it is unlikely that your information was improperly used, it is our recommendation that you monitor your credit records. These step by step instructions will help you through this process.
