Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts recognizes the importance of protecting your privacy and the information that you share with us. The following is our policy on the collection, use, disclosure, maintenance, and protection of the information that you provide to us through this website.

VOLUNTARY INFORMATION

If during your visit to our web site you participate in a survey, send an email, or perform some other transaction online, the following information will be collected:

  • The email address and contents of the email
  • Information volunteered in response to a survey.
  • Information volunteered through an online form for any other purpose.
  • The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us.

We use your email to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to you, to address issues you may identify, post an announcement, to further improve our web site, or to forward the email to another agency for appropriate action. Each survey or online form on the web site will identify how the information will be used from that specific survey or online form.

The Online Application

The information provided by applicants for the purpose of seeking admission to the school is considered strictly confidential. This information may be shared between departments within Specs Howard School, as needed or required, but will not be sold or distributed to third parties.

All eligible applicants are automatically added to our mailing list in an effort to keep prospective students informed of important events happening at the school. However, candidates have the right to withdraw their application at any time and may suspend communication by emailing your request to opt-out here.


General Mailing List
(prospective students)

By joining our mailing list, the user is opting to receive communication from us via email, postal delivery and phone. While this information may be shared between departments within Specs Howard School, as needed or required, the information you provide will not be sold or distributed to third parties. You may end this agreement at any time by emailing your request to opt-out here.

Alumni Updates/Alumni Mailing List/Grad Central Network

Our intention is to stay in touch with graduates of Specs Howard School indefinitely. By providing us with an official update of your employment status, we consider this an acknowledgement of that intention and will add you to our alumni mailing list to keep you informed of events and opportunities available specifically to Specs Howard Alumni.

By submitting an alumni update, you will automatically be enrolled in our Grad Central Network program, providing you access to our alumni email directory and forum. These features of our web site may be accessed only by Specs Howard staff and registered alumni.

However, your request to be removed from our alumni mailing list and Grad Central Network program (directory & forum) will be honored if you make your request to opt-out here.

For those of you who wish to remain on the alumni mailing list but refrain from participating in Grad Central Network (directory & forum), email your request to opt-out here.


Job Postings

Building a longterm relationship with employers is essential to the success of Specs Howard students. By providing us with a job posting, we will make that information available to our alumni and eligible students (interns) only.

We are devoted to finding the perfect fit for your organization and provide only qualified, pre-screened candidates. For more information regarding our employer services, click here.
