= = T**he Office of Information Technology** has implemented this new password policy as a best practice for information security and to protect more fully all network and personal work accounts from inappropriate access. Faculty users will be prompted for their new password when they initially log in **on Monday November 3.** Note that DataTel, WebXpress, MAC logins and other campus accounts are **not affected** because they are not yet under this new single sign-on domain. Faculty will still need to log in separately to the DataTel, WebXpress, MAC and other campus accounts. Faculty will have online reminders for the first 15 log-ins. After these 15 reminders, faculty will not be able to log into their accounts. Further, faculty who teach online courses will face another challenge: They will be locked out of all network systems. They will not be able to reset their password through any campus system. Faculty who are on campus will also need to change their password within the first 15 log ins or they will be locked out of the system and will need to reset their password through Novell. With the new single sign-on environment, changing the password in one location changes it across the following services: Novell (campus computer login screen), GroupWise/WebMail, Blackboard, and the CITRIX Remote Application Gateway. How to Change Your Password ** 1. Log in to any Windows campus computer. **//You cannot change your single sign-on password from a MAC//**. 2. Once you have properly logged in, hit the key combination CTRL+ALT+DELETE 3. Use the button named "Change Password" 4.
