• Never change a course name
• Never delete a course (if you must, you can un-enroll yourself, but never delete it)
• Update Your Schoology Profile Picture: If you have not included a profile picture in Schoology here is a short video to show you how. If your profile picture is turned sideways, it is due to the file type that you used (often from a picture taken on certain phones). You can either place that photo into a photo editor and save as a jpeg, or just use another picture for your profile picture.

Each DLS will add office hours to their Google calendar and invite their perspective campus.

Remember, now that you are back on campus, you are able to reset your student's passwords, no middle-man needed!!

Student passwords need to be at least 8 characters in length, and should contain 3 of the 4 following criteria:

• Upper Case Letter
• Lower Case Letter
• Number
• Special Character (!@#$%^&*)

In addition to the password criteria, the password cannot have the student/user name or be similar to the previous password (which is not specified on the screen). This triggers the LDAP error. If you need a password reset refresher CLICK HERE. Video - CLICK HERE
