UQ collects students’ personal information in order to discharge its functions under the University of Queensland Act 1998, including teaching and learning, research, student recruitment, student administration, student support and alumni relations.
UQ collects personal information directly from you during application and enrolment processes, as well as throughout your time as a student. UQ will only collect personal information that is directly relevant to its legitimate functions and activities, and in a way which is lawful, fair and not unreasonably intrusive to your privacy.
When collecting personal information from you, the University will take all reasonable steps to inform you about:
- why the information is being collected and how it is intended to be used;
- the University’s authority to collect the information; and
- any third parties to whom the University routinely gives the kind of information requested.
For information regarding the types of information that UQ collects in relation to students, please refer to the "Students" section of our Personal Information Register.
