Service FAQ

Please consult the following Questions and Answers for some frequuently requested information

Why was my account deactivated?

The IT Service Desk will only deactivate accounts in the event that they have been compromised (i.e. account credentials have been stolen by a hacker).

Accounts are typically deactivated if clients send out spam messages, as this is a sign of account compromise.

Should you receive a message such as “The current account is locked” means that the system has locked your account for too many incorrect password attempts. Your account will automatically activate, however you may wish to contact us to receive a quicker resolution.

How does Fanshawe College Contact me in the event of account compromise?

The IT Service Desk contacts staff by phone first, and follows up via email. 

All compromised account holders must contact us in person or over the phone and provide proof of identity before we can reactivate your account.

I received a suspicious email regarding my account/access/email, is it legitimate?

Recent phishing email scams have been circulating, asking users to click on links to reset their passwords due to system upgrades, or mailbox being full.

All communication from the IT Service Desk will come via an authorized email address of itservicedesk@fanshawec.ca.

If you are unsure if the email you received is legitimate, please contact us immediately!

I have signed a disclosure agreement with the Office of the Registrar, can my parent and/or guardian contact you on my behalf?

No, unfortunately the IT Service Desk does not honor disclosure agreements. Should you wish for your parent or guardian to communicate with us on your behalf, you must give us explicit instructions during that interaction. The agreement will only be valid for that interaction.

What happens when my password is reset?

When your password is reset, you will have to use the new password, provided to you, to log into all college systems. You will have to change any saved passwords to the new password. This includes the Wi-Fi network, on which you will have to authenticate again on. 

The IT Service Desk recommends that you always change your password after it is provided to you and regularly change it to a secure password. Doing so helps you keep your account secure.
