There is no guarantee that you will not receive spam email. By opting into Student Connect, students agree to give users of the tool access to their email address. In an effort to protect student contact information, however, our team has taken targeted measures to reduce the likelihood of any misuse.
First, upon opting into the directory, each student agrees to adhere to the associated Terms of Use. This strictly prohibits directory information from being used for any purpose other than professional networking with other students. Second, a five-person limit has been imposed on the tool’s emailing function. Third, messages sent from the tool will be delivered to individual students even if the message is sent to a five-person group. This allows every participant the opportunity to choose to respond or not respond to a sender and to opt in or out of a group email exchange. As well, it also enables them to maintain the ability to block a specific email address using the same functionality they use today through their select email service (e.g., Yahoo!, Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
Misuse of the directory for any reason is unacceptable and will result in an immediate investigation and possible removal of the offending student’s access to the tool. Issues of this sort should be reported, immediately, to support@schoolafm.com.
