Credit Protection and Fraud Monitoring Services

UT Arlington urges all of those whose records were exposed in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering data theft, if they have not done so already, to place a free fraud alert with one of the three main credit monitoring agencies. The initial fraud alert protects you for 90 days, and you may renew it.

It is quick and easy. Step-by-step instructions can be found at the Fraud Alert, Data Theft and Identify Theft Resources web page.

In addition, beyond the free fraud alert, you may consider commercial services that offer additional credit and fraud protection available for purchase. While UT Arlington cannot recommend specific services, the firms below are offering a discount to those whose records were inadvertently stolen. Please note: These UT Arlington discount offers are only valid until December 31st, 2006.

As a consumer, please evaluate the suitability of all products for your own personal circumstances. UT Arlington does not endorse any commercial program or product, and the offering of any discount does not imply endorsement.
