On Monday, October 15, between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., we will be abandoning our current 2-password system (wherein e-mail and network passwords are different) in favor of a unified password system. At said time, your network password will reign supreme and be used for both network and e-Mail access (amongst other things), while your GroupWise password will simply vanish into the ether.

 

Once this change takes effect, you will be able to change your password in any of three ways: On any school-provided computer; through the GroupWise client; or through our GroupWise WebAccess portal. When it is time for your 90-day password change, any of these three mechanisms will automatically ask you to change to your password.

 

Please be aware that our passwords require at least 6 characters (no more than 20) with at least one numeral, and no more than 2 consecutively-repeating values. Because of this change, capital letters are no longer required.

Sorry third-party e-mail client users, there is no other way for you to change your password. However, everyone should receive e-mail notifications about their impending password expiration 7, 2, and 1 days before it actually expires. If you use a third-party e-mail client and your password has expired, you will have no choice but to use one of the aforementioned mechanisms to change it or else your access will eventually be cut off.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
