Security Information

Every Barnard student is responsible for her own school accounts. Your account password is sensitive information. So, it is crucial that you remember it and that you do not share it via email or any other method. Barnard will NEVER ask students for confidential information via email. Therefore, never send sensitive information such as passwords, birth dates, and social security numbers to anyone via email, even if the source claims to be affiliated with Barnard College.
