University Security Update
If you have a unity account, you probably recently received a message about the new University Password Policy. There are a couple of points I want to make sure you take away from this message. 1. MOST IMPORTANTLY: If you have not done so yet, update your UIA information. (User Identification and Authentication (UIA) is an online verification procedure implemented by Resource Management and Information Systems and used by University Help Desks to identify customers who make telephone requests to those help desks to have their passwords reset.) Go to: http://www.acs.ncsu.edu/uia to select three questions that the helpdesk will use to identify you. If you forget your password (or mistype it more than 8 times in a row), you will need to personally visit the University Help Desk with a photo ID - UNLESS you have previously updated your UIA information. You can't do this after you have forgotten your password!!! 2. Depending on your security level, you will need to change your unity password every 365 days, 90 days or 30 days. If you are accessing the Human Resources and Financial System (i.e. you enter your travel reimbursement requests), you will need to change your password every 90 days. You will know when it is time because 14 days prior to needing to change your password, you will start getting a reminder when you log in. When you see this reminder, go ahead and follow the instructions to change your password.
