Your privacy is very important to us. The following information explains the Internet privacy policy and practices the University has adopted for its website.

You never have to share personal information with us to visit our website. No personal information about you is collected unless you affirmatively choose to make such information available to us.

If you choose to share personal information with us, by sending us a message or filling out a form, we will use the information only for the purposes authorized.  So for example, if you provide us with information through an online admission application, that data will only be used for that purpose. We will not disclose the information to third parties or government agencies, unless required to do so by law. If we are required to disclose information about you by law, we will endeavor to notify you of the disclosure in advance.
