This article provides step-by-step guidance for setting up IT access for new employees at CCRI.

When your CCRI account is provisioned, you will receive a username and email address.
- Username Lookup: Use the username lookup tool to find your CCRI username and ID number:
- Email Address: CCRI Employee emails end in @ccri.edu. Format: username@ccri.edu
- Username vs. Email
- Your username will be used to log in to College computers and Wi-Fi.
- Your CCRI email address is used for Microsoft 365 and SSO systems.
Account Password:
You must set your account password before accessing CCRI systems.
Options for Resetting/Setting Passwords
- Microsoft SSPR (Self-Service Password Reset)
- CCRI's Reset Forgotten Password Tool
- Available to all staff and faculty.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
