Faculty and Staff Computing Access & Sign On

The campus access to many campus networked systems is accessed through a Network Username and Password established at the time of hire. Your access to systems is based on job function and your manager's authorization via a Network Access Request form. And, yes, there are plenty of systems and unique login schemes at PCC. Hopefully the following will help sort it out. You can also submit a request to the HelpDesk or call (626-585-7523) or during their regular hours for help and troubleshooting login problems.
