Reset UARK Password
University regulations require that all UARK passwords be changed every 120 days. You will receive reminder notices via email when it is time to change your password. If it reaches 120 days unchanged, your password will expire and you will no longer have access to services associated with your UARK account. Current and expired passwords can be changed at PASSweb.
If you have forgotten your password, you might be able to retrieve it if you previously set a security question and answer using PASSweb. To use the security question and answer, you must know your original security question. The answer is case-sensitive and a minimum of four characters.
If you have forgotten your password and have not set up a question and answer, you must renew your account by going to the IT Services Help Desk or the General Access Computing Labs in the Arkansas Union, Mullins Library, or J.B. Hunt Building during business hours. Students can also go to the Office of the Registrar, 146 Hunt Hall, 479-575-5451. A picture ID is required for account renewal. (Off-site users should contact the Help Desk at 575-2905 for more information on unlocking their account.)
