Special Considerations Regarding Student Records

Can an instructor retain student contributions and D2L grade book information, in case it is necessary to review student performance several years after the course ends?

When downloading or saving grade books or student submissions, it is imperative to maintain the privacy of student records, which should be saved on campus-housed, password-protected network storage rather than on local hard drives or portable storage devices.

Questions about how long grade books and student records may be retained should be discussed with the UWM Records Officer.
