Which login do I use?
Sometimes I use my student email address and sometimes I use my student ID number to access college technology resources. Which one do I use?
Answer
Our District is moving towards Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication, but as of Spring 2024 there are at least three distinct username/password combinations students might use when trying to access college IT services:
- SSO using student email and email password
- 10-digit student ID# and student mySDCCD password
- 10-digit student ID# and 8-digit birthdate
Note about Passwords: The student email password and the mySDCCD password can be separate passwords or the same one, depending on whether the student changed them during initial setup or reset them later using Forgot Your Password?
