PCCC recommends adding multiple methods of authentication to your account, with options including:
You must have access to one of these methods when you sign in.
You can use your personal email address so that you can reset the password to your PCCC account or so that you can unlock your account in the event that we notice some unusual sign-in activity.
Note: This method can only be used to reset your password or unlock your account!
Instructions

Click Add sign-in method.
In the “Add a method” pop-up window, click the down arrow and select Email. Then click Next.
Type in your personal email address in the blank field and click Next.
A code will be sent to the inbox of the personal email you typed in.
Go to the inbox of your personal email and find the email with the subject “Passaic County Community College account email verification code”.
Once you find the code in the email, enter it in the blank space labeled “Enter code”. Click Next when you’re done.
After you click next, you should get a notification at the top of your page stating that your “Email was successfully registered”.
