Create Privacy Word

The Offices at Messiah will use the Challenge Response System (CRS) to view your Privacy Word to identify anyone inquiring about your non-directory information.
Messiah employees will be able to validate the identity of an individual contacting (via phone call, email, walk-in) their office. Sharing of your non-directory information will only be provided to those listed on your FERPA release and who are able to provide the privacy word.

Please create a Privacy Word for use in CRS below. This word should not be easily guessed. It could be a favorite place/food/pet/saying that ONLY you and individuals listed on your FERPA release would know. After you have decided on your Privacy Word enter it below.

Important things to remember:
  1. Only you and the individual(s) listed on your FERPA release should know your Privacy Word.
  2. Remember to share your Privacy Word with individual(s) listed on your FERPA release.
  3. Should you feel that your Privacy Word has been compromised, you can change/update your Privacy Word at any time.
  4. If someone provides your Privacy Word and is not listed on your FERPA release, they will NOT be provided your non-directory information.
  5. Information about a FERPA release can be found here: https://www.messiah.edu/info/22474/ferpa_-_student_rights_and_privacy
