IMPORTANT: Security Updates Affect Alumni Web Users
Alumni users of Centenary's Secure Online Community will soon experience a mandatory password update. For added security, the system has changed and will soon require personal identification number (PIN) to be reset to a randomly generated number rather than the user's birthdate. The new PIN will need to be mailed to the user UNLESS he/she has a security question entered into the system.
Visit the online community NOW to select a security question and answer for your account so that you can reset your password yourself without the delay of waiting for the randomly selected number to be sent to you via snail mail.
Want to become a member of Centenary's Secure Online Community? It is a simple, free, and private way for all Centenary alumni to search for friends, make new connections, and tell about important events in your life. Create your account now!
