CAPTCHA is a program that protects website submission forms from spammers by auto-generating distorted text that humans can decipher but bots cannot. The CAPTCHA code is added to a form above the submit button and is a required field for a successful form submission. CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart.

To add CAPTCHA to an existing form page, please contact the Web Team with the url of the page you would like the code added to. The WebTeam will add the CATCHA code for you.
