Activating Your Account

Detailed Instructions

After submitting your application, watch for your LLCC Welcome email to activate your account. (Note: Welcome emails are sent on days the college is open. For applications submitted after 1 p.m., this email would arrive the next business day.) Then follow the steps below to successfully activate your LLCC account. Activation of your account is required before you can access any electronic resources at LLCC (i.e. email, Canvas, Logger Central, etc.)

Step 1: Collect the information needed for initial login

Your Email Address

For students, use: username@llcc.edu

(provided on your Admissions Welcome information and/or Class Schedule)

For employees, use: FirstName.LastName@llcc.edu

Your Initial Password

Your initial password should follow the formula described in the template below:

AbCCCCDDEE where:

A = The first initial of your first name (Capitalized)

b = The first initial of your last name (in lower case)

CCCC = The last 4 digits of your Social Security Number
(international students - use 0000)

DD = Your birth month in 2-digit numerical format

EE = Your birth date in 2-digit numerical format

Example user

Example User’s Initial Password

Name: Jane Doe

Last 4 of SSN: 1234

Birthday: 09/23/2002

Jd12340923

Step 2: Log in for the first time - Set Password and Multifactor Authentication

Click the button below (or go to the Microsoft Email login page)

When prompted, enter your email address and initial password
(for more information, see the section “Step 1: Collect the information needed for initial login” above)

Graphical user interface, text, timeline, Teams Description automatically generated

After clicking through, you’ll be prompted to :

Set a new password

At least 10 characters long, including: CAPITAL, lowercase, numbers, and/or symbols (! @ # $ % ^ & *)
Cannot contain your name, email, student ID or birthdate.

Set up Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

This helps to get you verified and back into your account if you forget your password, and makes it so other people can’t.
Set up 2 methods to help with this (Microsoft Authenticator is recommended as one if possible)

Once that's all set, you will use these credentials to log into everything you need as a student: LoggerCentral, Library resources, Email, Canvas, etc... So make sure to keep it safe.

**Always remember, LLCC will NEVER ask you to verify your password or MFA codes over text message or email. If you believe you received suspicious communications, please let the IT Helpdesk know immediately**
