Important Information on Password Resets

In order comply with current legislation, the Technology Support Center is required to change the password-reset procedure effective on Tuesday, June 1, 2010.

Students, faculty and staff who have already set up their Password Reset Questions through my.scranton will not be affected by this change because they have the ability to reset their own password. We urge ALL customers who have not set up their password reset questions to do so immediately.

You can easily set up your password reset questions by logging into my.scranton.edu and clicking on the Home tab, then on the Select your Password Reset Questions link in the Emergency and Password Information channel.  Select 3 questions and provide answers to these questions.  Then – if you ever forget your myScranton password, you can easily reset your own password by clicking on the Forgot your password? link on the myScranton login page.

After June 1, 2010, if you fail to set up your password reset questions you will be required to follow one of the procedures below. Password reset services will be available during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday).

On-campus students, faculty and staff will be required to physically go to the Technology Support Center in Alumni Memorial Hall, Room 102 and present their Royal Card in order to obtain a code to unlock their account which will then allow them to reset their own password.

Exclusive Online students will be required to fax a form (supplied by the Technology Support Center), which submits identifying information and a copy of a government issued photo ID, in order to obtain a code to unlock their account which will then allow them to reset their own password. 

To remain in compliance, there can be no exceptions to this process. To avoid any possible inconvenience, all users are urged to setup their password reset questions by following the steps above.
