Please be aware of recent phishing attempts targeting college email accounts. These emails may falsely claim your account has been locked, needs verification, or requires action due to maintenance. They often include links or request that you fill out forms asking for personal information.
 
Do not respond. Do not click any links.
 
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
🔹The College IT Department will NEVER ask you to verify your credentials through email.
🔹We will NEVER send messages asking you to unlock your account via email links or forms.
🔹We will NEVER ask you to fill out any document or form requesting personal information due to maintenance or system upgrades.
🔹If your account becomes locked due to suspicious activity, the email system will automatically restrict access, and you must call the IT Helpdesk to have it cleaned and released.
Protecting your account helps protect the entire college network. If you receive a suspicious message, please delete it immediately.
