A new service is being offered to students to manage
their own passwords online. Both new students and current students
are encouraged to use this service. You must know your 10-digit PUID #
and Username to use this service. Passwords cannot be given out or changed over the
telephone. If you do not know your username and/or password,
bring a Picture ID to the Help Desk, Tech 265, and a
Technical Assistant will assist you.
