Password Policy

Once each semester all users (faculty, staff and students) will be notified that their password will expire. When you receive this notice, you will have 10 days to change your password or you will be locked out of your account; this means no access to email, the myCampus portal, Sakai, or your userspace.

The password length needs to be a minimum of 6 characters and must contain 3 of the 4 following elements:

• Have at least one alpha character,
• Have a least 1 numeric character,
• contain upper and lower case characters and/or
• contain at least one special character such as (# @ %.)

Password history will be activated and set at “4.” This means that you cannot repeat the same password until the fifth change.
