Obtaining Email Lists for Surveys

Student email addresses

Requests should be submitted using the IC Data Request Form. Please specify the specific student population of interest (for example, undergraduates, full-time, etc.), the type of information needed on each student, as well as the intended use of the information. The Office of the Registrar may or may not be able to comply, depending on the nature of the information requested and your intended use.

Student email addresses for survey research assignment for students within a course

If the request for student email addresses is for a survey research assignment for students within a course, the faculty member teaching the course should complete the IC Data Request Form early in the semester.  Visit the IC Survey Research Center website to request a Qualtrics or other survey or form tool account.

Faculty or staff email addresses

Faculty and staff email addresses are not available for survey research unless it involves college assessment and planning. If you have questions or need further information, please contact Institutional Research (IRoffice@ithaca.edu).

Alumni email addresses

You can request to communicate with alumni via email using the How to Contact Alumni form. Advancement staff will work with the requester to complete the request. Please note that data requests may take up to three weeks to complete.

For mass email delivery, the division is unable to share contact information directly. Institutional privacy policy prohibits Advancement from giving out personal information without consent from everyone on the list. In order to maintain legal compliance with the communication preferences and opt-in/out status of our alumni, the approved method for any mass communication to former students from the institution is to use the email platform that is built into the Blackbaud CRM housed within their division.

Only faculty and staff are eligible to request alumni communication; students should have their faculty/staff sponsor submit the request.
