How it Works:

  • Test your knowledge by answering questions.
  • Along the way, you’ll learn about phishing, online scams, identity theft and more. The challenge directs you to valuable U-M resources that help protect both you and the university. Win-win!
  • Speaking of win-win, students* who complete the challenge with a score of 90% are entered into a drawing for U-M Tech Shop Gift Cards ranging from $100-500. You can take the challenge as many times as you like, though there is one raffle entry per person.

*Only registered U-M students are eligible for prizes.
