Do colleges look into your email stuff?

I've heard that colleges will look into your email? like stuff/websites your email is subscribed to? Is that true?

  • No, colleges do not look at your email, that is private.

  • If you have any particular schools in mind, go to their websites and and see if there's some place to request free information (there almost always is something like this on the admissions office page). You might also consider looking at some of the big college search engines and see if there's an option to request information from colleges that fit your criteria. You should probably also talk to someone in your school's guidance office to see if they can help you.

  • It is against federal law for an organization or another person to spy into personal information like email. As stated above, if you have public sites or information, those can be looked at without consequence.

  • No! If they did that then the person that did could probably get arrested. It(your email) is after all your personal property.

  • They can look to see if you have a facebook or myspace profile. And if your profile is set to be public, then whatever they see on it is int he public domain and not a violation of any privacy rights.
