Why Enroll in Password Station?
Password Station will allow students, faculty, and staff to recover a forgotten password or change an existing password from on or off campus.

If you do not enroll in Password Station and then forget your password, you will have to request that it be reset for you. This often takes longer than enrolling, and must occur during the standard business hours of the IT staff. For more information on how to have your password reset manually, please contact the appropriate support:

• Students should go to the John R. Clark Computing Center Information Desk in person to have their passwords manually reset.
• Faculty and Staff should submit a Tech Support ticket with the IT Support Center (look for a "Support Center" icon on your campus computer's desktop) for more information about resetting passwords manually.
  NOTE: A walk-through of this process is provided for you in the Faculty Handbook. See the Staff Development site on the OCC Portal to access an electronic copy.
