The Username is case-sensitive. If the user attempts to log in and does not enter the case correctly,the Student Self Service UI returns a Bad Credentials error.

The password must meet the defined password policy. You’re required to enter a confirmation password and the passwords must match. If the password doesn’t meet the defined password policy or do not match, you’re not able to save the new user record.

Users may reset their passwords by selecting Forgot Password? on the sign-on screen. After entering the prompted email address, the application sends an activation link to reset their password. The activation link is good for 7 days.

The application displays these warnings when the password doesn't meet the password policy:
