Changing Your Rockhurst Network Password

For security purposes, your password will expire and needs to be changed every 90 days. You will be notified via email or when logging into any campus PC beginning approximetly 14 days prior to expiration. (After which time you must change your password to continue.)

You may also change your password at any time. The steps below walk you through the various change password processes. 

If you have issues generating an acceptable password, please see our Password Requirements page.
