New Student Account Setup Guide - JCCC

Welcome to Johnson County Community College! Follow these steps to get your student account fully set up and secure.

Step 1: Log In to Your Account

Logging into your JCCC student Microsoft account allows you to access your MyJCCC accounts and reset your password anytime. Some students already have a personal Microsoft account.  Please note: your JCCC student Microsoft account is a separate account and will use a different username and password from your personal Microsoft account. 

You’ll need:

  • Username (JCCC email address found in your acceptance email)
  • Temporary password (found in your acceptance email)

Steps:

  1. Go to: https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info 
  2. At the Microsoft Sign In page, enter your JCCC email (e.g., [email protected]).
  3. Select Next.
  4. Enter your temporary password from your acceptance letter.
  5. Select Sign in.

Step 2: Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

To protect your account, JCCC requires multifactor authentication (MFA) to access certain applications.

When you see the prompt “Let’s keep your account secure,” follow these steps:

  1. Click Next.
  2. Select “I want to set up a different method” (bottom left).
  3. Choose Phone from the dropdown.
    • Enter your phone number, including area code. If outside the U.S., select the correct country.
    • Important:Choose a phone number that you will have with you regularly. You’ll need it to receive authentication codes when logging in to your JCCC accounts.
  4. Choose “receive a code” and click Next.
  5. Enter the code sent to your phone.
  6. Click Next, then Done.
  7. When asked if you want to stay signed in:
    • Choose Yes on a personal device.
    • Choose No on a public/shared device.
  8. After logging in to your account, select Change Password to change your temporary password to one that’s secure and easy to remember.
    • Password must not contain the user’s name or username, must have 10 characters, and have at least three of the following:
      • Uppercase letters (A–Z)
      • Lowercase letters (a–z)
      • Numbers (0–9)
      • Symbols (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & *)
  9. Create and confirm your new password.
  10. Select Submit.
