Password Expatriation notification

We recently implemented a policy where the users receives an email 30 days
before the password is set to expire.   Sure enough people thought this was
a phishing attempt.   However, since we have some off campus users that may
never step foot on campus email seemed to be the only way to notify
everyone.
How do others notify their campus about passwords expiration?  
How often do you send those reminders?


IITS will never ask you for your password.  Never email your password to
anyone.
