HawkID passwords must:

• Be at least 15 characters long
• Include letters, numbers, and punctuation
• Not repeat characters (like aaa)
• Not be too similar to your name or HawkID account name
• Be different than your old passwords

You must change your HawkID password at least once per year.

Individual colleges or departments may require more restrictive password rules. Elevated privilege accounts—such as users with administrative rights on their workstations—may require longer passwords and more frequent password changes.
