Online Fax for Hawaii Schools and Universities
Hawaii runs a single statewide school system, the Hawaii Department of Education, so transcripts, special-education records, and enrollment forms often travel by fax between campuses spread across the islands and between schools and the district office. Registrars at the University of Hawaii campuses and at private schools rely on fax for the same reason: it produces a signed, dated record that a student file actually moved.
Regulations & Compliance
Student records held by the Hawaii Department of Education and by University of Hawaii campuses are protected under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which limits how personally identifiable education records may be disclosed. Special-education files add the confidentiality requirements of IDEA. A fax sent over an encrypted channel with a retained delivery confirmation lets an HI school document that a transcript or IEP went only to the intended recipient.
