To protect everyone's account from misuse by hackers, all users are to change their password every 4 months. In addition, passwords for all new accounts should be changed within one month of issue.
Accounts which do not change their passwords within the allowed period will receive email reminders spaced at weekly intervals. After four such warnings, the account will be deactivated. (Note that this will not involve any loss of data - it will simply become impossible to log in to the account.)
Any account deactivated in this way can be quickly reinstated by contacting the Help Desk on extension 2345. Reinstated accounts will only remain open if the password is changed within a couple of days of re-instatement.
Read this page for more detailed information on how to change your password.
