The University and the Faculty of Environment must ensure that student records and materials are protected in accordance with Ontario’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. F.31 (FIPPA).
While some materials are excluded from FIPPA (some employment-related records, research-related records, and records of teaching materials), almost all other records in the custody or control of the University regardless of their subject matter or how they are stored (i.e. in print or electronically) are covered by the Act. These include student work and grades.
