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 Microsoft Authenticator

Microsoft Authenticator is JCCC’s recommended multifactor authentication method. When you see “Let’s keep your account secure,” follow these steps:

  1. On your phone, install Microsoft Authenticator from your app store. Choose the free app published by Microsoft Corporation
  2. Open Microsoft Authenticator and select Scan QR code. Keep the app open while you continue on your computer.
  3. On your computer, choose Microsoft Authenticator when prompted to add a sign-in method. Select Next on each of the next two setup screens to display a QR code.
  4. Use Microsoft Authenticator on your phone to scan the QR code. Check that your JCCC account appears in the app.
  5. On your computer, select Next. Enter the two-digit number displayed on your computer into Microsoft Authenticator on your phone, then select Approve.
  6. On your computer, select Done to complete setup.

If you already use Microsoft Authenticator and do not see Scan QR code on the opening screen, select + or Add account, then Work or school account, then Scan QR code. Allow camera access and notifications if prompted.

Use a phone you will have with you when signing in. If you replace your phone, register and test Microsoft Authenticator on the new phone before erasing the old one.

Don’t have a smartphone, or can’t use the app? Contact the Technical Support Center at 913-469-7700 for help with another supported option, such as a USB security key.

Microsoft’s setup instructions are included as a supporting reference.
