Password Policy Update

The GALILEO Steering Committee has approved a change to the GALILEO Access Policy that updates the password notification and change schedule.

As of July 1, 2014, the password will change three times a year (in January, May, and August) for all institutions in order to better reflect the semester schedule.

Please see the GALILEO Password Notification and Change Schedules page for dates for your community:
http://about.galileo.usg.edu/policies/galileo_access_policies_and_information_1.1/#schedule

  • GALILEO staff will review the password change dates annually for the upcoming calendar year and adjust so that change dates will not fall on a weekend.

  • Communities (e.g., TCSG, AMPALS, GPALS, public libraries, etc.) are welcome to request a different date for the password to change. Requests can be sent through the GALILEO Contact Us form and should come from the GALILEO Steering Committee representative for that community.

If you have any questions or need more information, please use the GALILEO Contact Us feature or contact the ITS Helpdesk at helpdesk@usg.edu.
