Bring Your Own Device (or BYOD) refers to the use of a personal device for WSU network services such as email. This includes phones, tablets, and other mobile devices.

When setting up email on these devices several special steps will be required to secure the device.

Apple Devices

On an Apple device you will see the following screens after configuring your email:

  • It will make you aware that there is a passcode requirement.
