Important Password Information

Information Services is in the process reducing the number of passwords needed for various systems on campus. Currently there are two main passwords: your KNET password and your “temporary” password. By winter quarter these two passwords will be merged, and you will only have to remember one password. Until this process is complete, here is a breakdown of how to use your passwords.

I.S. has emailed you a “temporary” password. This “temporary” password allows you to:

* Access the K College Intranet
* Access Electronic Reserve readings
* Access online directories
* Upload to your personal Web pages with kzoo.edu, henson.kzoo.edu, and cc.kzoo.edu addresses
* Access campus.kzoo.edu pages
* Access the Hornet Zone Wireless Internet
* Access Resnet Registration (students)
* Access your CorporateTime/Oracle Calendar (faculty and staff)

If you do not remember (or have lost) your temporary password, contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@kzoo.edu to have your temporary password reset. If you change your temporary password, the change will take effect within 24 hours.

Use your KNET password for:

* Email
* Signing into a Windows PC
* Using a computer lab
* Printing in the Library or computer labs
* Accessing ILLiad, the interlibrary loan service
* Accessing network file shares

STUDENTS: A completely different password is used for Moodle. If you are in a class that uses Moodle and want to change your Moodle password, you can do so directly through Moodle.

FACULTY AND STAFF: Completely different passwords are used for Academic Records Online (ARO), Web Advancement Officer, Moodle, and updating Web pages with www.kzoo.edu and campus.kzoo.edu addresses. None of these passwords were affected by the move to a “temporary” password for other functions. To change your ARO password, see the Registrar; for Web Advancement Officer, see Rob Davis (rdavis@kzoo.edu or 337-5156); for Moodle, you can change your password directly in Moodle; for uploading to www.kzoo.edu and campus.kzoo.edu, see Carolyn Zinn (czinn@kzoo.edu or 337-5761).
