Change an "unlinked account" password (Org or Dept account)

For old organization or departmental accounts, which are purposely not linked to an individual NetID, the owner of that account can change the account password in apply.rice.edu at any time.

1. Go to apply.rice.edu (for a larger view of the apply.rice.edu page, click the image above).
2. From the Left-Hand Menu, select "Login" and enter YOUR NetID (account name) and password (usually your e-mail password). You will be taken back to the main page.
3. Select "Account Maintenance" in the Left-Hand Menu.

1. Now, select "Change/Sync Password"
2. In the apply.rice.edu application, you will see ALL the accounts you own.

1. At the top of the page, there is a section for Individual Accounts.  These are course, org, or departmental accounts that have their own UNIQUE password but are owned by you. 
   
2. To change the password for an Individual Account, select it from the list by clicking the button or circle that begins that row, then select "change single account password" to alter ONLY this accounts password and not your personal NetID password.

If you need to CHANGE ACCOUNT ownership

• If you leave your department or change roles within Rice, remember to shift the ownership of your previous course/org/dept accounts to the new account owner. This can be done by contacting the Help Desk.
• If you find yourself in the position of having to take over ownership of a course/org/dept account that has not been managed recently, you will have to request ownership of the account(s).
  
  1. Send a request to the Help Desk (helpdesk@rice.edu) and ask that the account ownership be changed.
  2. CC the current or previous owner of the account, if known to verify transfer of ownership.
  3. If the current or previous owner of the account is not known, CC the department administrator to verify transfer of ownership.
