Where to start?
Your first login should be done at my.vcc.ca. Continue reading for important information about your username and password.
Which login ID do I use?
Students encounter many systems during their time at VCC. Most use the same username format (all use the same password). Here is how to enter your username for our major systems.
What is my email address?
Your email address is formatted as studentID@student.vcc.ca (e.g. 000123456@student.vcc.ca)
IMPORTANT! You may be aware that you also have firstname.lastname@student.vcc.ca (e.g. john.smith@student.vcc.ca) as an email address. Never use this address as a username on any VCC system.
What is my password?
If it's your first time logging in, your initial password will use your birthday in this format: VCCMMDDYY# ("VCC" plus your birthday (MMDDYY) plus "#"). E.g. if your birthday is January 30, 1995, your initial temporary password will be VCC013095#. Following your first login, you will be prompted to create a new, secure password (see below).

Resetting Your Password
Although VCC’s IT team is always happy to help, you can reset your own password after your first successful login. First, you need to register and set up your authentication options.
After you have registered, you may use the “Forgot Password” link on the myVCC login page to reset your own password at any time.
