Student Password Requirements

Students in grade 3 or higher will need to change their APS account password annually. Previously, this requirement applied only to students in grades 6 or above.

When current passwords are near the annual expiration date students will receive an automated email notification instructing them to change their password at that time.

Students should follow the best-practice complexity standards outlined in the table below in order to create safe and secure passwords. Additionally, passwords can be changed at any time by going to the Self-Service Password Management Page.

Elementary 3 - 5 Middle School High School	8 characters	Must include 3 or more of the following character types: Capital letters (ABC) Lower Case letters (abc) Numbers (123) Special Characters (!#.%) May NOT include the student's first or last name.
