Sounds like a fairly standard policy, though 30 days is pretty extreme. We do 90 days, though don't force changes for students...they have such restricted access anyway it isn't as big of a deal.

We encourage the mix of upper and lower and numbers, but don't enforce it for network passwords. It IS enforced for the grade and transcript access system.

See above. For grades, I can see. For average coparate stuff it's stoopid.
