ACLAS: Is this even legal?

[Hotdogman1]

The provided student email (student.cgcc.edu) goes to a cc in Oregon, Columbia Gorge Community College.

It also looks like the email format is incorrect:
"first initial, last name, last four digits of their student id, @student.cgcc.us (john.smith@student.cgcc.edu)" (https://www.cgcc.edu/ferpa)

(123) 123-123 (My phone number only has 9 digits but it's not because it's fake, it's because you're making wild conclusions.)

Perhaps, coincidentally, Newton John C. Newton is also a student at Columbia Gorge Community College 

johnc.newton@student.cgcc.edu

Read the instructions and try again. The example provided by the school itself is incorrect. Your ID should be something like NJohnC0000@student.cgcc.edu. 
Even disregarding that, remember that Newton is your first name and JohnC is your last name so you should have written newton.johnc@student.cgcc.edu.
