3.9 - Laptop Encryption Requirements

Updated: 4/30/2025

University and College IT require all students to encrypt their laptops. Encryption helps protect the data on your device so it can only be accessed by people who have authorization. This helps protect any private data stored on your computer should your laptop be stolen. This is a critical component to being HIPAA compliant. 

  • Instructions for encryption for Windows and Mac users  can be found at this link.
  • For questions and help please contact the IT Service Desk for your campus.
