All information provided to the Financial Aid and Awards Office by students and their referees and all data collected by the Financial Aid and Awards Office respecting the financial resources of students shall be treated in strict confidence.

The names of recipients of awards - save those prizes for which Senate has specifically given responsibility to faculties, schools, and departments - shall be released only by the Financial Aid and Awards Office. Names of recipients of awards not administered by the Financial Aid and Awards Office (e.g. graduate fellowships) may be released by the selection committees for such awards.

The names of recipients of awards under Senate aegis shall be duly reported to the Senate and shall be kept on file by the University Secretary.

Until such time as reports have been made to Senate or the students have been informed of the receipt of awards (whichever is earlier) the names of recipients of awards shall be released to Deans, Directors and academic committees of awards only when the Financial Aid and Awards Office is convinced that such persons and committees have a valid need to know in order to discharge their own duties.
