Copyright Information
The EDUCOM Code
Respect for intellectual labor and creativity is vital to academic discourse and this principle applies to works of all authors and publishers in all media. It encompasses respect for the right to acknowledgment, the right to privacy, and the right to determine the form, manner, and terms of publication and distribution.
Password Requirements
Effective fall 2006 all passwords on the Academic Network must be a minimum of 6 characters in length and should include one numeral or special character.
Some suggestions include:
- Make the Password at Least Six Characters Long – The longer the password is, the better.
- Mix Upper and Lower Case Letters – Passwords are case-sensitive.
- Mix Letters and Numbers – Add numbers to passwords, especially in the middle (not just at the beginning or the end).
- Include Non-Alphanumeric Characters – Special characters such as &, $, and > are acceptable.
- Pick a Password You Can Remember – The best password in the world does you no good if you forget it.

In particular, the college claims the following rights:
