GCCCD has deployed Single Sign-On. Students, faculty, and staff will utilize their @gcccd.edu email address to access Self-Service, Canvas, GCCCD email, campus computers, printing, and Library database materials.

Usernames are in the form of either firstname.lastname@gcccd.edu or firstinitial.lastname@gcccd.edu, depending upon when you became a student.

Faculty/staff credentials are provided to the user during employee onboarding.

Students may find their username in the Welcome email sent shortly after applying to the school. If you do not know your username, any Student Services office (Admissions, Counseling, Financial Aid, etc.) or Help Desk may look you up.

*Note: Students applying after April 2025 will use their first initial; students enrolled prior to April 2025 will use their first name.

*Note: There may be exceptions to the above. Please see our Passwords and Accounts guide for more details.

You have a single password for Self-Service, Canvas, GCCCD email, campus computers, Wepa printing, campus Wi-Fi, and Library database materials. It must be changed at least once a year, and must be 16 characters or more.

For new students, the password was sent to you in a Welcome email after you applied. You will be required to update it to a new 16+ character password upon first use.

*Note: Messages are sent from a 'noreply' address; please check your Spam / Junk Mail folder before contacting the school about your credentials.

Faculty/staff credentials are supplied during employee onboarding.
