Effective Jan. 31, 2019, all University employees (full-time, part-time, adjunct faculty, student employees) will be required to use Duo two-factor authentication to access all University single sign-on systems. These include Gmail, NinerNet, Canvas and My UNC Charlotte.
ITS is investigating increasing the password reset time frame for those who use Duo, which significantly improves the security of University data.
UNC System policy 1400.3 (User Identity and Access Control) encourages campuses to implement multifactor authentication (such as Duo) to help prevent unauthorized access to accounts and systems.
Employees who supervise student employees should be aware of this requirement; ITS officials suggest incorporating Duo sign-up as part of the onboarding process.
