Set your Timeout Option
By default, the system will log you out after 15 minutes of
inactivity. If you are accessing MyWashburn from a public lab setting,
this setting makes it less likely that someone will access your account
if you accidentally forget to log out.
- Select the "My Account" link on the upper left.
- Under the "Change Timeout" section, choose your new timeout setting
from the pull-down list. (If you are taking online courses using Angel,
it is important to increase your MyWashburn time out to at least 120
minutes in order to accommodate idle time that may occur when reading
assignments etc.)
