Do you run into any problems with students and their smart phones, wireless, etc.?  How do you communicate this policy 
to your student population.

We treat everyone the same...annual password change with complexity rules.

This has gone around a few times in the past but I am looking for fresh

What is your stance on student passwords?  Do you make them change their
password every X number of days?  Complexity rules? Etc.

Thanks.
