Logging into QUAL Environments:
- To log into a QUAL environment, use your NetID and QUAL Passphrase.
- NOTE: Just like your production NetID Passphrase, do not share QUAL Passphrase with anyone.
- NOTE: Your QUAL Passphrases should always be different from your production NetID Passphrase.
- Using the same passphrase for all environments is against information security best practices.

Data Samples in QUAL Environments:
While much of the data in QUAL environments may seem identical to PROD, consider it a data sample. Data in QUAL is not likely to be 100% identical to the PROD version.
QUAL data is refreshed throughout the year, and a new sample of PROD data is copied for development and testing. With that in mind, know that data samples may frequently change.
NOTE: Data in QUAL environments must be treated as production data and, thus, protected under applicable confidential and sensitive information
