The College provides a unique login and password to each student that provides for access to all college electronic systems including the myPEAK portal, email, college owned desktop computing devices, and the college’s learning management system (Brightspace). The login information along with a code to determine a one-time first-time password is provided to students upon acceptance to the institution. The account must be activated by the student, the password changed, and a 3 question profile set up for future account self-service. All passwords must contain at least 8 characters and are required to meet complexity standards; 3 of 4 character types; lower case, upper case, number, special character. All account passwords expire every 180 days with a 14-day warning. The lifecycle of a student account follows that of the re-admission policy. Once a student does not complete coursework for 2 consecutive semesters the account and all associated data is deleted.
Identity Verification
In order to provide service for a network account a student must provide a photo ID or verbally confirm at least 2 private pieces of data to include, but not limited to any personally identifiable information available in the college's student information system. (e.g. birthday, last four digits of social security number, system username, student ID number, course schedule information, and etc.)
