Student UNIX accounts are removed when the student is no longer enrolled. Confidentiality of Computer Passwords All computer account and Network ID passwords are confidential and must not be shared with others. Sharing your computer password to allow another to use your computer account is a violation of state law and University policy. If a password is forgotten, a new password must be assigned. Requests for a new password can be made at the IT Phonedesk, an IT SCS Lab, or by contacting the appropriate branch campus.
Identity verification is required before a new password is assigned.
No Passwords in Logon Procedures Passwords must not be included in automated or preprogrammed logon procedures. Each user should manually enter his or her password at logon time to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Suspension of Computing and Network Access IT reserves the right to suspend services that cause network disruptions, interrupt general resource availability, or are perceived to be a threat to common resources. Evidence of illegal activities or policy violations will be turned over to the appropriate authorities as soon as possible after detection. Students, while working in an employment capacity for WSU, are also governed by the Ethics Law.
