CCAC provides students with apps and programs to use in your classes, to access college services and more! To help you be successful at CCAC, you are expected to use these systems in your college journey. 

CCAC NetID Account & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 

Your NetID Account is a specific username and password that you will use to log into CCAC's applications and systems, such as MyCCAC, CCAC Self-Service, CCAC Email and more. It is different from the email/account you used to apply to CCAC.


 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 

MFA adds an extra layer of protection to your login by requiring both your password and a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or generated by an authentication app. There are multiple options for authentication during setup; however, the Microsoft Authenticator app is highly recommended for MFA.

The college will send all important emails to your CCAC email as long as you are a student. This includes emails from the deans, registrar, financial aid, student life and engagement and ITS.

You can access your CCAC email through Outlook on the Web or download the Outlook app to your smartphone.
