Re: New student username/password

[Greg Francis <francis () GONZAGA EDU>]

We send all incoming students (those paying deposits) a letter
welcoming to the university on the behalf of IT. In that letter, we
provide them their username and password along with their e-mail
information, information on purchasing computers, etc. This letter
typically goes out mid-May. We've done this for about five years and
it has worked really well for us.
