Can I log into one system and gain access to all systems?

No. Even though the username and password is the same for each of these systems, you must enter the username and password whenever you want to access one of them. Logging into one does not give you access to all.

I can't find my username, my information doesn't match? What can I do?

You must verify your identity to find your username. When you enter the verification information, your student ID number (or Social Security number), last name, birth date, street address, and ZIP Code, it must match the information in our College database.

If it doesn't, you must contact Contact Center (531-622-5231) or stop by Student Services to have this information corrected. Once you have updated your information, you should be able to successfully find your username.
