Effective November 30, 2022, Northwestern Information Technology will enforce the Electronic Communications Standard policy for all faculty, staff, and students employed at Northwestern University. You may read the comprehensive policy here—consider two main takeaways applicable to your work with the Master of Science in Higher Education Administration Policy program (MSHE).
Key takeaways of Electronic Communications Standard policy
- Conduct all course-related email messaging with your assigned Northwestern email address. You no longer can forward your Northwestern email to a non-Northwestern email account.
- Conduct all course-related webconferencing through your Northwestern Zoom account.
As the policy states, “compliance with this Standard ensures that Institutional Data are appropriately managed and secured, and ensures recipients of Electronic Communications can feel confident of the integrity and authenticity of the source, further safeguarding the reputation of the University.”
