Access and Logging in to Moodle - Faculty
Log in to Moodle
To access the Moodle homepage, go to moodle.cca.edu. Click the blue Login button or the link in the upper righthand corner. This takes you to the CCA's single sign-on page, where you can enter your CCA username and password.
Accessing Moodle On Campus and Off Campus
You may access Moodle from on or off campus. However, when accessing Moodle from off campus, you must first connect to the CCA VPN.
On Campus
When you are on campus and connected to the CCA network, you can access Moodle directly without connecting to the VPN from your computer or mobile device such as an iPad or a smartphone.
Off Campus
When you are off campus, you must connect to the CCA VPN before accessing Moodle.
If you have not set up the VPN, follow the CCA VPN Access Instructions for Students and Faculty to install and configure it. Once connected, you can access Moodle as usual.
Note that the Off Campus VPN access is currently only available for computer/laptop users. It does not support the Moodle mobile app yet. You may use the Moodle mobile app or a web browser on a mobile device on campus to access Moodle with no VPN.
If you need assistance setting up the VPN or accessing Moodle, please contact the Help Desk at [email protected].
