Temporary passwords issued by our Customer Service staff or by our automated password recovery system expire at 11:59 pm Pacific time, on the day after they are issued. If your temporary password has expired, please resubmit your request in the same manner in which it was originally requested. If you used the automated password recovery system, you can simply request that a new temporary password be sent to you via e-mail.
If you used the Identification Information Request Form, please resubmit your request, and our staff will send you a new temporary password.
The automatic password retrieval system requires a last name and username to be able to send a temporary password to the e-mail address listed in our database. It may be possible for another user with a similar name to mistakenly request a temporary password for your account. The temporary password, however, is e-mailed to the e-mail address on file for the username, so your alumni account will not be compromised in this case.
In the event that you are sent a temporary password when you did not request one, you will need to visit the alumni website and reset the temporary password to a permanent password. Please note that your temporary password is valid until 11:59pm Pacific time the following day it was issued. Once you login with the temporary password the system will prompt you to enter a permanent password.
If the temporary password has expired, please used the automated password recovery system to request that a new temporary password be sent to you via e-mail.
You must know your existing password to follow the below steps. If you have forgotten your password, please scroll back up to How do I request my username or password?

Confirm your new password by entering it again in the “Re-enter Password” text box, and save your changes.
