As of today, the University is invited to enroll in Duo Security, our new two-factor authentication tool. We will be making this tool mandatory on December 19, 2018, so everyone is encouraged to enroll now to avoid needing to do it in the future.

More information about why we moved to Duo, how it combats security challenges, and how to get enrolled can be found at our Duo FAQ.
