How do I login to the TCC Student Portal / Student Email?

This guide will walk you through logging into the TCC Student Portal and TCC Student Email.

IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that students set up their TCC Student Portal / Student Email first, before setting up their ctcLink account.

If you have any questions about the following information please email support@tacomacc.edu.

- Go to my.tacomacc.edu

- Click 'CLICK HERE TO LOGIN'

 

- Type your student email (user name) into the field.

Your user name is comprised of:
  • The first initial letter of your first name
  • Your full last name
  • The last 3 digits of your Student ID number
  • Two digits for the day you were born
Example:
First name: Titan
Last name: Jackson 
Student ID Number: 201123654 
Date of birth: 01/01/1990
The user name will be: tjackson65401@student.tacomacc.edu
**NOTE** Use the full TCC student email following this format: username@student.tacomacc.edu

 

- Type the password into the next field. If this is the first time you sign in use your Student ID number as a password (this is a temporary password)

**NOTE** Stay signed in? It is recommended that you say 'No' when using a device you do not own.

Click Next to set up the MFA security verification.

 

In the new dialog window click 'I want to set up a different method' to choose from the three secure verification options:

**NOTE** ​​​Do not skip this step as the system will lock you out until you set it up.

- personal phone number - you will receive a text message with a code to verify your authenticity

- personal email - you will receive an email with a code to verify your authenticity

- the Microsoft App Authenticator

 

Set up Text/Calling/Email

- Select Phone
- Pick your country code and enter your phone number
- Select if you wish to get a text with a code or have the system call you

**Note** When Microsoft calls, press # to confirm you are the number called

- Write down the code

- Click Next

 

- Enter the 6-digit code you received via the call or in your text messages

- Click Verify

- Click Done

- Repeat the process to set up your personal email as the second MFA verification option.

- You will now see your TCC Student Portal where you will find links to the student email (Outlook/O365), Canvas, ctcLink, etc.
