Policy Updates
Recent updates to official BYU–Hawaii policies.
| Date of Change | Policy Title | Nature of Change |
| 04/13/2026 | Student Employment | The former International Student Employment policy has been consolidated into the Student Employment policy to provide a more unified and streamlined framework for student employment practices. In addition to this consolidation, clarifying language has been added about multiple jobs, work hours, remote work and meal breaks. |
| 09/28/2026 | Enrollment | The policy was updated following an audit by International Student Services (ISS), which identified that international students must be in good academic standing to be eligible to work. The changes clarify the university’s requirements for maintaining work eligibility and establish when students must stop working and when they may resume employment. |
| 10/19/2026 | Data Loss Prevention | The policy was renamed from Identity Theft Prevention to Data Loss Prevention to reflect a broader focus on protecting sensitive personal and institutional information. Additional information is also added on preventing identity theft, wider range of information security risks, including unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, and loss of data. |
| 10/20/2026 | HIPAA | These policy changes are needed based on recommendations from the Legal team. Implementing the new policy will help ensure that our practices align with applicable HIPAA requirements and protect sensitive health information. Failure to follow HIPAA requirements could result in significant penalties and other legal consequences. |
