<p>Some of the data that you entered does not match our records. Please examine each piece of information in the form below and fix the incorrect data. </p>
<p>Also I haven't gotten another email from them ever since, so I'm beginning to worry about whether my application actually went through or not, and if it did did they neglect me possibly because I forgot to turn something in? What should I do?</p>
<p>Well since you got the email about your SIS password I assume your app went through, and they wouldn't neglect you for forgetting to turn something in. They would have contacted you, and you would not have been penalized. (that is from dean j's blog)</p>
<p>Also, if you are on Apple Safari, the SIS page doesn't work, so could that be your problem?? I use firefox instead.</p>
<p>Did you read the note under the login button?</p>

<p>It's not only UVA, but I have to comment though what a pain these admission sites user name and passwords are. An 8-10 digit number, mixing cases, special charecters, numbers, etc. Many are system-generated. No chance you'll remember them, so you end up with a listing of all these IDs and passwords you try to keep track of. And then, if you don't have the number, there isn't an easy password reset tool. Some places won't talk to you about your application without the student number, which you might not have with you at school, even though you have your social etc. </p>
<p>No question there is a need for password protection, but come on. Seriously... it's not national security, and I get the feeling there aren't too many roque cyber criminals trying to pierce these app sites to see my essays. These IT guys need to relax these ID and password secret code stuff. </p>
<p>Sorry for the vent. I guess the pressure is starting to build....</p>
<p>It's a little annoying, but this is to secure your personal information. This is not any Office of Admission's choice, this is a mandate from IT offices around the country. This data must be secured by more than a simple password.</p>
<p>Every school that has had a security breach has been ripped to pieces in the press. I saw this happen at another school. Social Security Numbers were stolen and within hours, there were credit cards being opened in students' names both in the US and abroad (from what I understand, thieves sell the SSNs online almost immediately). </p>
<p>Having your identity stolen can ruin your credit report, which makes simple things like getting a new phone contract, opening a credit card, and passing the credit check most landlords do on new tenants very, very difficult.</p>
<p>Writing down a complex password is cake compared to the work it takes to clean up after your identity has been stolen. It can take years.</p>
<p>Second Dean J's comments. Having twice been hit with identify theft, the fix ain't fun. And, yeah, kaydog, cyber-criminals ARE lurking everywhere.</p>
