Overview
Columbia College assigns staff and students with a College Username (ex: jmdoe123), as well as with an email address (ex: jmdoe123@cougars.ccis.edu or jmdoe123@ccis.edu)
Different applications require different "username or email formats"
How to:
When coming across a Microsoft sign in screen you will input your username format as "username@ccis.edu" (ex: jmdoe123@ccis.edu).
You may come across a Microsoft sign in when trying to sign into myPortal, Outlook or other Microsoft Office applications provided by CC, or within certain links in myPortal.
When coming across a Columbia College sign in page that resembles what is pictured below, you will input your username format as "username" (ex: jmdoe123).
You may come across this particular sign in page when trying to navigate through specific Forms in myPortal.
When trying to access your Cougar Mail, a Gmail account provided by Columbia college for Students, Alumni, and Adjuncts or Instructors, you will input your username format as "username@cougars.ccis.edu" (ex: jmdoe123@cougars.ccis.edu).
You will come across this sign in when trying to add your Cougar Mail address to Gmail.com or a Gmail/Mail app.
For all of these particular sign in methods, you will use the same password you have most recently set with Columbia College. If you receive a password error you will need to reset it through https://myaccount.ccis.edu/identity/self-service/col/smsreset.jsf
