LOG INTO THE CCCO PORTAL & ACCESS YOUR D2L COURSE

  1. Use this link to log in to the CCCO portal to access your D2L course and a variety of other essential resources.
    Note: if you did not have an S# prior to enrolling in the new hire training courses, your training courses will remain accessible through your temporary D2L login; usually your firstname.lastname user account.
  2. Then enter the following:
    UserName: your S#
    Password: If you are new to the Colorado Community College System, your temporary portal password is your date of birth-MMDDYY.*

    *NOTE: If you are NOT new to the Colorado Community College System and have been issued an S# by another CCCS member institution (as a student, staff member, or instructor), do not use the date of birth as your password.   All CCCS portal and D2L systems use the same credentials, so you can log in using your S# with the password you have set for the portal at your prior CCCS institution.

NOTES:

If you try to login three times unsuccessfully, your account will automatically lock. You will be required to wait a minimum of 30 minutes before you can try again.

ADDITIONAL REQUIRED TRAININGS

You will be required to complete three additional trainings as outlined below. For each of these trainings you will receive registration instructions via your CCCS.edu email after the beginning of the semester.

  1. Accessibility--System President Procedure 3-125G outlines responsibilities for making all web-based information and services accessible to the widest possible audience. This means so much more than ensuring our websites are accessible and each of us has a responsibility in this process. To assist System employees in understanding and meeting this responsibility, you are required to complete five Web Accessibility training modules.
    If you have any questions about this training, please contact Patricia Muniz. [Patricia.Muniz@cccs.edu]

  2. Workplace Answers--Providing professional development and an inclusive and safe workplace to our employees is a priority at the System. To that end, we have partnered with one of the leaders in the Risk Management industry, Workplace Answers, to provide online training courses to help toward these goals.

    As a CCCOnline instructor, if you are employed at one of the other colleges within CCCS, you only have to take the trainings once. Workplace Answers will disseminate the trainings to you through your CCCS or college email account.
    Should you have any questions, please contact Stephen McElroy, Director of Academic Excellence, at CCCOnline. [Stephen.McElroy@cccs.edu]
