Accounts and Passwords

Fisher Active Directory (AD) manages network access for users at Fisher College of Business. This account is similar to the OSU account (name.#) except the underscore "_" character is used as a delimiter instead of a period "." character.

The Fisher AD account is used to access a variety of services such as computer labs, wireless laptop access, and more. This account enables exclusive access where upon sharing of this account with any other person is subject to account suspension or revocation.

OSU requires that passwords be changed at least every 90 days. More information on security policies can be found at http://my.osu.edu.
