What is this? Online Web Form Security!
By requiring a user to type in the text rendered in a graphical image we are increasing the security of our online web forms.
These images, referred to as CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), are only possible for a human user to read and prevent automated internet "bots" from automatically filling out an online form (a common spamming approach).
If you have any questions regarding our use of CAPTCHAs, please contact webmaster(at)svsu.edu.
