Password Announcement
In May 2011, the IT department sent an announcement to all users of
Alliant systems regarding the need for periodic password changes. This
announcement generated a lot of feedback, and therefore we delayed
implementation while we did a bit more research on the subject. We have
consulted with other colleges and universities, and with professional
organizations representing IT professionals in higher education.
As a result of these investigations, we have revised the policy as follows:
Improving the security of Alliant systems is a best practice among all kinds of organizations, including colleges and universities. The recommendation to strengthen our password policy comes from our external auditors and from our Board of Trustees. It is not optional.
To change the password you use to access the Alliant network, myAlliant, Email and/or Moodle, select the following link https://pwreset.alliant.edu
As a result of these investigations, we have revised the policy as follows:
- Beginning July 5, 2011 you will be prompted to change your password when you sign on to any Alliant system. You will be required to use a password of at least eight characters in length, consisting of a combination of numbers, upper and lower case letters and special characters.
- You will be required to change your password every 180 days (six months).
