Are there any restrictions on the use of @u.northwestern.edu accounts for graduate students involved in sensitive research?
Graduate students who participate in programs that involve sensitive data must use a centrally hosted mail account for their research activities. An @u.northwestern.edu account cannot be used as the primary student mail account if sensitive data needs to be transmitted. It is the strong recommendation of the University that all members of the community who work closely with proprietary research data exercise vigilance when transmitting primary or analyzed data via e-mail. IMPORTANT: Current graduate students with an existing centrally hosted mail account who handle sensitive data should not activate an @u.northwestern.edu account from the self-service @u Account Activation Web page.
