Data collected: Some data incorporated in Forecast are probably no surprise. For instance, student academic records are used, including grades, progress toward a degree, and use of the Blackboard course management system. But the system also incorporates some less obvious data, such as your use of Purdue’s wireless network and swipes of your Purdue ID card at the gym, residence halls and dining facilities. Privacy policy: Whether you use Forecast or not is entirely up to you. Students can formally opt out at any time by emailing tlt@purdue.edu. If you opt out, your data, while still collected, will not be individually displayed. You will still be able to see the University-wide analysis of behaviors that contribute to academic success at Purdue, which can offer some useful pointers, but you won’t be able to see your behaviors compared to everyone else’s.
