REMINDER: CHANGE IN STUDENT COMPUTER AND EMAIL LOGIN
Student username logins to COCC computers and student email (Office 365) have changed to be your email address (example: jmouse@cocc.edu).
For COCC wireless, your username is the first part of your email address and does not include the @cocc.edu (example: jmouse NOT jmouse@cocc.edu).
Your password will continue to work effectively.
If you have set up your cell phone to receive COCC email, update your cell phone Office 365 email login information to be your email address and not your 82#.
Also, students now have access to and the ability to enroll in a new Self-Service Password Reset system. Once a student enrolls by creating a set of security questions, the student will have the ability to reset their own password. This password is the one you use to login to COCC computers, wireless and email.
COCC Computer Labs are ready to help if you have any questions or difficulties related to Office 365 email.
