Hi Stefan, 1. What methodology did you use to deploy MFA to students, incremental based on a variable or everyone at once? We did all of our students all at once. We did ours like you're doing yours in the way of doing Staff and Faculty first and then students months later. The students handled it much better then staff. I think because it was a younger crowd. We made sure our student tech support was with us for the rollout of Staff and Faculty so that they were trained very well. They were pretty busy at first but it was manageable. We also timed the deployment with our New Student Orientation (NSO), that that helped a ton as well, since students are coming to get IT support on the first day of class anyways. 2. Does your university provide students with hard tokens? If so, do the students have to pay for the token? How much? The University did provide hardware tokens but if I had to guess we only gave out maybe 10-20. 3. How to you manage accessibility issues for students with disabilities? HMM, great question. I don't think this came up 4. How do you handle situations where students can not take a device into a proctored testing lab? Did faculty have concerns about raising test anxiety for students? How were they addressed. I don't think we do Proctored testing and if we do it is on campus and MFA is not needed. Not sure on this sorry. 5. Are you handling student registration differently than faculty and staff? Please provide the link to any public documentation describing student enrollment. We put flyers out everywhere, digital signage, printed flyers in classes, dining facility, everywhere we could, along with emails and letters to mailboxes. They were practically the same enrollment between student, staff and faculty besides students showing up on NSO and maybe being more tech savvy.

We have received some interesting questions. We are interested in how your campus managed student deployment (we are partway through our faculty/staff deployment). I would appreciate a response to the following questions. 1. What methodology did you use to deploy MFA to students, incremental based on a variable or everyone at once?
