YES! According to University of Arizona policy as stated in Minimum Information Security Standards:
All devices and/or accounts with access to university resources shall require adequate passwords or an alternate secure authentication system (e.g., biometrics or Smart Cards). This standard applies to university employees, affiliates, associates and volunteers, as well as contractors and vendors, with access to those resources. Students are strongly encouraged to implement passwords on personal systems. University computer account owners have a responsibility to construct, secure, and maintain their passwords in accordance with the requirements specified in the Guidelines for Password/Pass phrase Construction and Management available at http://security.arizona.edu/pdf/PasswordConstruction.pdf.
