Welcome to PCCC!

To access important services, you will need to activate your PCCC Account. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to get up and running quickly.

Step 1 - Get your Account Activation Email

Cannot find the account activation email?

  • Check your spam or junk folder

  • If needed, fill out the Get Your Login Credentials form to have a new account activation email sent to your personal email address on file.

  • If you are still not receiving the account activation email, contact our IT support team at (973) 684-6464 for assistance.

Step 2 - Sign In and Change Your Password

  1. Browse to https://my.pccc.edu directly or click on the My PCCC link on the PCCC web site.
