"On Monday, May 17, the University of Michigan Administrative Information
Services determined that a small selection of personal student data elements
may have been exposed to some individuals within the University community
through the Wolverine Access Web site. The data elements that may have
been viewed include UMID, Social Security number or National ID, and home
address information. It has been determined that this situation may have
existed between February 9 and May 17, 2004.

We are notifying you as a precaution because there is a slight possibility
that your personal data may have been accessible to someone within the
University community who was not authorized to see this information. Because
of the obscure nature of the vulnerability, we believe it is highly unlikely
there was unauthorized access of student information during this time.
However, as a precaution, we encourage you to observe practices like monitoring
billing statements for accuracy, checking credit reports, etc. Identity
theft has become a growing concern in our country and these are good practices
to follow as a matter of course.

If you believe your Social Security number has been used fraudulently,
file a police report, contact the Social Security's Office of the Inspector
General Fraud Hotline at 1/800-269-0271, and contact national consumer
reporting agencies to file a fraud alert. For more information, visit
the Federal Trade Commission website at

The University has eliminated the system vulnerability and retested other
services available through Wolverine Access. We do not believe any other
similar vulnerabilities exist that would allow unauthorized access to student
data.

The University of Michigan is committed to maintaining a secure computing
environment. We sincerely apologize for the incident and regret any inconvenience
this may cause you. If you have questions about this incident, please
call 734-936-7000 and select option 4."
