Starting in the Spring 2025 semester, all Extension students taking multi-session courses will receive a CCA student account. This account will provide you with access to a personal CCA email address and a wide range of on-campus and online resources. Students only enrolled in a one or two day workshop will not receive accounts. If you don't already have an active CCA login, follow these instructions to create one. Any Extension student who set up an account for a Spring 2025 class does not need to repeat these steps, and please continue using the same badge you received last semester. If you are CCA staff or a current CCA degree-seeking student, you already have an active CCA login and may disregard these steps.

Steps to set up your account:

Step 1: Create your CCA account.

Go to: https://accounts.cca.edu/activate/student/

You will need your student ID number, which has been emailed to you. Reach out to extension@cca.edu if you can't find it.

Step 2: Login to your CCA email account.

CCA email accounts are hosted by Google. Your CCA email can be accessed at google.cca.edu, your mobile device, or any email client.

→ Learn more about CCA email.

Step 3: Set-up CCA cyber security.

CCA requires Duo multi-factor authentication for all students. You are required to enroll in Duo and will automatically be prompted to enroll the first time logging into your CCA email.

→ Instructions to enroll in Duo.

Step 4: Upload your CCA ID photo (on-campus courses only)

Follow the steps on this page to upload a photo for your CCA ID badge. When you arrive for class, go to the front gate window at 145 Hooper Street to pick up your badge. This is not required if you are only taking an online class.

If you lose your badge, you must print another at the public safety office with a $5 fee.

If you are having trouble with any of these steps, please contact helpdesk@cca.edu.
