Trouble is that encryption is a red-rag to a bull wrt the TLAs and would definitely get them 'over excited'. My suggestion is to ask your school to let you cut / burn a CD-R of your files. If they refuse to, or are too witless to be able to, then a stout 'Please explain' letter to the school's Board of Trustees is in order. > Find out what the max email size is on your end, then create tar files > up to that limit.
