Human Resources Registrar Training & Development STAR — Report a Concern

Announcements

  • In 2014 alone, more than 200 million personal records were stolen through online data breaches — including records from the University of Maryland (309,000), Indiana University (146,000), and Target (110 million credit card numbers).

    Password complexity: All passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters and include at least three of: a number (0–9), a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, or a non-alphanumeric character (~!@#$%^&*).

    Strong passwords: Avoid names, dates, words in any language, computer terms, patterns like “qwerty” or “123321”, or anything associated with SVA (e.g. “sva”, “VASA”, “mysva”).

    Protect your password: Never share or reveal your password to anyone — including supervisors. If you suspect your account has been compromised, change it immediately on all systems where you use the same password.

  • SVA is committed to the safety and security of all College community members. In accordance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, the SVA Annual Security Report and Fire Safety Report are now available at sva.edu.
