Starting with the next time you are due to change your WFU password, you will notice a couple of changes. Campus users will now be required to change their password once a year, rather than every six months. With this extended timeframe, it is important to strengthen the sophistication of our campus passwords. These new requirements align with peer institution and industry standard requirements.
To facilitate requests for hosting large video conferences, we’ve created an easy-to-use form to gather as much information about your event as possible, as early as possible. We ask for your cooperation in using the AskDeac Common Request Form to Schedule a Large Video Conference going forward.
As a reminder, large video conferences are generally defined as having over 50 participants, including external participants, or requiring interactive participation or breakout rooms. Scheduling a large video conference is not generally necessary for online classes or departmental meetings.
