Resetting Your Password for MyFSU, Novell and FerrisConnect

Ferris State University has made it possible for all faculty, staff, administration and students to reset their own passwords, instead of contacting TAC to do so. The password assistance service is currently available through the following address:  https://passwordhelp.ferris.edu

In order for the website to allow you to change your password after it expires, you must visit the site prior to your password expiration time. Once at the website, you must follow the below steps to ensure that in the future you can reset your password on your own.

Note: Lotus Notes passwords cannot be reset using this process.
