Guidelines for Supervisors of Student Employees

NEW!! - COMPLIANCE IS MANDATORY!

Students are employed by the University under a variety of circumstances — administrative assistants, teaching assistants, tutors, research assistants, work study positions, etc. — and also may serve on numerous committees that expose them to confidential or sensitive information. From an organizational perspective, the University's reputation and effectiveness depend on the ability and intention of all employees to manage the University's data and records with care and discretion regardless of its form (electronic, oral, written) while conducting University business.

Supervisors, please review the Student Data Confidentiality Checklist and ensure that your students review the Student Confidentiality & Sensitive Data Guidelines available via Blackboard. All ECU Students that are hired into any type of job, internship, or volunteer position, must complete the Student Employee Confidentiality Agreement available via a Blackboard course.  They will need to log into Blackboard, read, and agree to the guidelines outlined in this document. It is the supervisor's responsibility to insure the compliance of their students.  If your student(s) cannot access the Agreement, please contact hireapirate@ecu.edu with the userid and Banner ID of the student(s) so they can be added. Copies of the agreement and guidelines are also posted in the Student Employment Resource Folder which is maintained by the Student Employment Office for student supervisors. To receive access to this folder, send an e-mail message to Jane Rahm at rahmj@ecu.edu.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Student Employment Office at 252-737-4473.
