As a new student, how do I log into my YCCC account?
Instructions on how to log in for the first time
Answer
As a new student, your account will come with a YCCC issued password that is in the format listed below. If you do not know your student ID number, please reach out to our Admissions department for assistance. It is recommended that your change your password as soon as you can to ensure your account remains safe.
When you log into any YCCC services that are powered by Microsoft 365 for the first time, you will need to set up account recovery options. You will get a message letting you know that the service needs more information from you, and will walk you through the process of setting up an alternative email address and/or phone number.
Your YCCC issued login information should be as follows
Username: sFirstNameLastName (like sJohnSmith)
Password: Yc#ID_NUMBER (For example, Yc#123456 and replace ID_NUMBER with your student ID number)
Email Address: sFirstNameLastName@yccc.edu (like sJohnSmith@yccc.edu)
