What's new for Summer 2008?

TUsecure Initiative in Full Swing

TUsecure is a University-wide initiative requiring stronger passwords and three security questions to safeguard your personal information.

In order to continue using Temple's resources, a deadline of June 2, 2008 was set for changing your password. Over the next several days, Computer Services will begin locking out account holders who have not met this deadline.

If your account has been locked, please change your password now by going to the accounts.temple.edu web site.

Administrative mainframe users are required to change their passwords every 90 days. All other account holders are required to change their passwords every 180 days.

Progress Continues on Project Enterprise

Work continues on the five-year, universitywide project to upgrade and replace Temple’s aging administrative systems. The next major project to be implemented will be an upgrade to TUportal, scheduled to be in place for the fall semester.

For an overview of the project and to learn the latest developments, see the Project Enterprise web site.
