Login Troubleshooting and Info Guide:

What is changing?
SBCC is transitioning to a new Microsoft-based sign-in system using Microsoft Entra authentication. You may notice a new sign-in page when accessing college services.

Why is SBCC making this change?
This change improves security, reliability, and long-term support for campus login services. Moving to Microsoft Entra also helps provide a more consistent and modern authentication experience across SBCC systems and Microsoft services.

When is this happening?
The transition is happening in phases. During this period, some services may use the new Microsoft sign-in page while others continue using the current SBCC Login page.

What should I expect?
Your overall login experience should remain very similar. You will continue using your regular SBCC credentials.
One noticeable change is that password reset and account recovery screens will look different and follow a more standard Microsoft sign-in process.

Will my username or password change?
No. Continue using your existing SBCC username and password.

Where can I get help or ask questions?
If you experience issues signing in or have questions about the transition, please contact the IT Help Desk or visit the SBCC Login Help page.

You can change your Two-Authentication (2FA) settings here:  https://auth.sbcc.edu  If you have questions or need technical assistance with 2FA, please visit https://sbcc.edu/2FA/ for troubleshooting information and tips

  1. Make sure you wait at least 2 minutes after resetting your password to allow our systems to catch up with the changes.
  2. Make sure your password meets the necessary requirements:
    8 to 15 characters max
    1 upper case letter
    1 lower case letter
    1 special character (not @ "" > < " spaces or tabs, or non ASCII (example ñ)
    1 number (Avoid consecutive strings of three or more numbers, (example: 8546)
  3. Try to log in only with your campus assigned username, NOT your full campus email address.
  4. Make sure you are going to https://my.sbcc.edu , and not using a bookmark or letting your browser auto fill the address.
  5. Turn off, or temporarily disable any password or form savers in your browsers. Sometimes these will override what you type in the password field without you seeing it.
  6. Try a different browser than the one you are using such as Firefox, Edge (PC), Chrome, or Safari (mac)
  7. Try incognito or private browsing mode in your browser. This will bring the page in without old cached pages, and files.

Regardless of age, college officials will only assist the student with access to a campus account, which contains records covered under FERPA.   Please have your student call Enrollment Services (805) 965-0581 x4086 for assistance.  Additionally, students at SBCC are expected to act on their own behalf, not only out of respect for student privacy, but also to fully engage students in college administrative processes that are essential for their success in college.
