This service can be requested to ensure that university-owned devices are properly handled for decommissioning or disposal. The OU Technology Center securely erases all data from the device to protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with data security policies.
Who is Eligible?
Prerequisites and Expectations
The OU Technology Center will coordinate the pick-up of the computer or printer to be erased. The device will be securely erased to ensure that all data is permanently removed, protecting any sensitive or confidential information.
Once the data has been securely destroyed, the device will be returned to the requestor or their department, who will be responsible for the final decision to release the device to University Surplus (GUS).
Note: If the device cannot be securely wiped due to any reason, please refer to our Hard Drive Destruction Services article.
