The University is allowing Columbian College of Arts and Sciences students to change their GWids after thousands of students’ personal information was accidentally emailed out Friday by an academic adviser.

The document included a total of 5,094 students’ GWids and current or permanent addresses, in addition to majors, minors and credit hours.

A total of 274 students received the email, University spokeswoman Candace Smith said.

Dean of the Columbian College Peg Barratt notified students through an InfoMail on Friday, offering the option to receive a new GWid “as an abundance of caution.” Parents did not receive a notification.

“As you know, because additional information beyond a GWID is required to access personal student information, your personal information is not at risk,” Barratt wrote in the email.

The University has not received complaints from students or parents about the email, Smith said.

She said the University would look to put “controls in place to prevent a similar situation from occurring again.” Specific changes have not yet been determined.
