<Title>myUMBC Password Change Required of Faculty/Staff</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>Last Updated : August 12, 2011</strong>
    As part of preparation for the Legislative Audit of IT services at UMBC we are <strong>requiring all faculty and staff to change their password by October 11th, 2011.</strong>
    
    In the last audit UMBC had a finding due to password management. UMBC utilizes the password model developed by the National Institute of Standards, 800-63. Over the last three years we have streamlined and improved this process. However, DoIT wants to make certain that we are in compliance and the best way to ensure that is to require a password change prior to the fall semester. We anticipate that for most people the password change process will take a few minutes of time.
    
    <strong>Starting the week of August 15th</strong>, when you access myUMBC or any web-based resource requiring your password, you will be notified that you must change your password. We know that there may be times you are trying to get something done quickly and have built into the password change process the option of deferring to change your password up to ten times. After the tenth time you will be placed in the password change process automatically.
    
    <strong>NOTE:</strong> <em>If you changed your password in the prior 180 days you will be exempted from this mandatory password change.</em>
    
    Also, as part of the password change process you will be required to select  additional security questions that will be used in the event you forget your password and need to get it reset. We will also be asking for your cell phone number. As a precaution, we use your cell phone number to alert you via text message if your password is being reset. In addition, we will allow you to call into our user support from that phone number to get your password reset. This is very helpful for faculty and staff that may work off-campus and need there password reset.
    
    To support campus users we have developed two resources:
    <em> How do I change my myUMBC password? <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867939" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867939</a>
    
    <em> How do I setup my security questions to recover a forgotten password? <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867908" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867908</a>
    
    We appreciate your cooperation in this important audit activity.</em></em></div>

<Title>myUMBC Update</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">On July 29, 2011 the myUMBC system was updated to improve the myUMBC groups system. One important change provides a new group category of institutional group. An institutional group must be requested by a staff or faculty member and allows you to "enroll" people in a group. 
    
    A second change is that group news and group events are automatically added to your start page so they are easy to follow. 
    
    Finally, if you are using Google calendar, we have now integrated the "Calendar" item in the dashboard with Google calendar. Hovering your mouse over the Calendar menu item will show your calendar for the day. Clicking the entry will open Google calendar.
    
    For more information on all the enhancements in this update of myUMBC please go to <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/about/whatsnew#" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://my.umbc.edu/about/whatsnew#</a>.</div>

<Title>DoIT IT Support Changes - Help Desk &amp; AV Moving</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Starting this summer, there will be a number of significant changes occurring in the way DoIT provides support to the campus community. The driver for this change is the new Retriever Learning Center (RLC) that will be opening in the Library this fall. The RLC will have a significant technology component and will provide 24-hour space for students. As part of this DoIT is making significant changes to our Helpdesk and establishing a student-focused unit named the Technology Support Center adjacent to the RLC. 
    
    This is one of the most exciting and important initiatives for students that has occurred on campus. So, to support the RLC, DoIT will be making the following changes.</div>
