At some institutions, a confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement with PRA is required.  An institution that requires PRA to sign a confidentiality agreement before it can provide a sample file containing student data should send the agreement to PRA borodenko@pra.ca<\/a> at least two weeks before<\/strong> the start of your institution\u2019s survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
