Student Email Account Access

BEWARE OF SCAMS: The College will never ask for your username, password, or banking information via email or text message.

Activator and Microsoft Authenticator

Activate your account using your student ID number, which is located in your welcome email and in MyCollege on your user profile on the user options screen.

All Central Piedmont users are required to use Microsoft Authenticator to access their accounts. Set up multi-factor authentication, entering your student email in the following format: username@email.cpcc.edu.

Logging In and Changing Your Password

For improved security, all students are required to change their password yearly. Failure to do so will prevent you from accessing Central Piedmont systems including Brightspace, MyCollege, and email. Check your inbox for annual reminders and visit the Account Management Portal to change your password.

Campus Wi-Fi and Cloud Access

Follow these steps to log into the CPCCStudent Wi-Fi network on any campus using your student credentials.

The cloud is a system of virtual computers you can access online, on campus or at home. It provides resources you may not have on your personal device, like specialized software and network storage for saving and accessing files anywhere.
