Sending an encrypted email to recipients within Athens Technical College:

Using the Outlook desktop application:

Select Options from the menu
Select the down arrow under the Permissions button
Select Encrypt-Only

You will see the Encrypt-Only message at the top of the email composition window

Using the Outlook web app (aka Office 365 or O365):

Select Options from the menu
Select the Encrypt button
Select Encrypt

You will see the Encrypt message at the top of the email composition window.

Sending an encrypted message to recipients outside of Athens Technical College:

To send an encrypted message off-site (to non Athens Tech recipients), add the following string of text at the start of the email subject:

[Encrypted Message] -

Note that there needs to be a space before and after the hyphen.

DO NOT use the Encrypt Only instructions in addition to this step. This step is used in place of the instructions to send to recipients within Athens Technical College.
