myVCC Password information

Please Note – All VCC students are required to use Multifactor Authentication (MFA): MFA protects your account and is simple to use. You will need to set up MFA on your first login. Please review the Student MFA Setup Instructions document for detailed steps.

If you currently work at VCC, please refer to the VCC Employees section on this page.

When will my account be active?

If you have fully registered, your VCC student account should be active 30 days before your first class begins.

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.

myVCC (VCC’s intranet) (https://my.vcc.ca)
Enter only your student ID (e.g. 000123456)
Moodle (https://moodle.vcc.ca)
Use your full email address studentID@student.vcc.ca (e.g. 000123456@student.vcc.ca) and your current password.
Email/Office 365 (https://portal.office.com)
Use your full email address studentID@student.vcc.ca (e.g. 000123456@student.vcc.ca) and your current password.

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).

Password rules

VCC requires the following elements in passwords:

Password length of minimum 10 characters
Must contain upper- and lowercase letters
Must include at least one number
Must include a special character (e.g. ! # $ % …)
Must not contain account holder's first or last name
Must not be one of the passwords previously used

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.
