Oakland University will never distribute e-mail requesting account passwords or a person’s date of birth. Any message requesting this information should be deleted.

Members of the campus community who responded to this or any message requesting account information should change their account passwords as quickly as possible. For further assistance with e-mail accounts, call the Help Desk at (248) 370-HELP or (248) 370-4357.
