What this law does
Under Hedc 405.06 an institution supports its students by developing a student record system and securing it by storing physical records in secure, fire-resistant cabinets, securing electronic records so as to prevent loss, and routinely maintaining a secure backup of physical and electronic records. Under Hedc 405.07 the institution's written plan must describe policies and procedures to ensure the integrity and security of data, and the privacy of individuals.
The commission's degree-granting rules do not reach the institutions of the university system of New Hampshire, the community college system of New Hampshire, or an in-state institution in continuous operation since before 1775.
