eID password change starts Jan. 1; new feature allows password recovery via text message

Posted on by Betsy Edwards

Long-term use of the same password is a known security risk, which is why K-State requires all K-State eID passwords to be changed every spring and fall semester.  For the Spring 2013 semester, Jan. 1-Feb. 13 is the timeframe for changing K-State eID passwords. This mandatory password change applies to both individual eIDs and group eIDs.

  • To change your password:  Use the connect.k-state.edu webpage to sign in with your eID and current password.  Click “Change your eID password” and follow the steps.
  • Forgot your password? Call the IT Help Desk at 785-532-7722 (800-865-6143 toll-free) and verify your identity. Staff can set a temporary password for you to sign in.

Grade submission deadlines for Fall 2011

Posted on by Monty Nielsen (nielsen@ksu.edu)

Grades for Fall 2011 term are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20. The deadline to copy grades from K-State Online into iSIS is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20, which allows sufficient time for back-end processes to complete. Grade rosters will be available in iSIS for grade entry after 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9.

If the above deadlines are missed, then grades must be submitted directly to the Registrar’s Office using individual Grade Change Forms for each student.

Grades for non-standard courses are due five business days after the class ends except for classes ending during finals week, when all grades are due at the same time.

Students will be able to view grades for regular courses in iSIS starting 8 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 21.

More information about grade submission is available from the iSIS Final Grade Submission Information webpage.

eID password deadline is Wednesday, Feb. 9 (spring 2011)

Posted on by Betsy Edwards

Wednesday, Feb. 9, is the last day for all K-Staters to change the passwords on their K-State eIDs for the spring semester. This mandatory password change occurs each fall and spring, and applies to both individual eIDs and group eIDs. After Feb. 9, unchanged passwords will lose access to K-State e-mail, iSIS, K-State Online, the university computing labs, and other IT services.

Last year’s updated password requirements make it easier to select a password by allowing:

  • A phrase with several words and spaces
  • Up to 30 characters (7 minimum)

Remember that K-State will NEVER ask for your password via e-mail. Any e-mail that does so is a scam and should be deleted immediately.

Changed your eID password? Deadline is Sept. 8

Posted on by Betsy Edwards

Wednesday, Sept. 8, is the deadline for changing passwords on K-State eIDs for the fall semester. This mandatory password change each fall and spring semester applies to both individual eIDs and group eIDs.
