Each student self selects a password that is assigned in a freshman year core class, it is recommended to have this saved or written down somewhere. Reminder: It is the responsibility of the student to log the points, ensure they will be verified, and discuss with teachers if they believe an error has occurred. x2VOL can be found here.
