Student Network Accounts

Your CCAC Username

Your CCAC Username and password identify you to the CCAC network and allow you to access a variety of resources and services. CCAC Username creation is available once you register for courses at CCAC. Student academic email is available one hour after your CCAC Username is created.

Students must obtain a CCAC Username. Having a CCAC Username allows you to log on to the CCAC network from any campus PC, to utilize local PC software, resources and files necessary for some of your coursework. Without a CCAC Username, you cannot log-in or use any campus PC or CCAC network resources. Most CCAC applications are web-based, (MyCCAC Portal, Blackboard, Academic Email, CCAC Central, etc.) and may be accessed on your home computer or mobile device as long as you have an internet connection.
