How to Login to MyCampus

  • Login Name: Your first name and last name, no spaces, all lower case. Unsure of your username? Check your username.
  • Password: First initial of first name (capitalized), first initial of last name (capitalized), last four of your SSN, and cc. For example, if your name was John Smith, and your last four were 3456, your MyCampus password would be JS3456cc.

    When you sign in to the portal the first time, you will be prompted to answer five security questions that will be used when you need to reset your password or have forgotten your password. Your password must be at least 8 characters in length, contain an uppercase character (A – Z) and a lowercase character (a – z) and contain at least one number (0 – 9) or a special character (!, $, #, or %).

    Once the questions have been answered, you can reset your password. To reset your password, enter your new password in the New Password field. Re-enter the new password in the Verify New Password field. Click OK and your portal homepage should be displayed.

Setting up Multi-factor Authentication

To protect your personal and academic information, Chesapeake College uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all accounts.

Why MFA? We are committed to protecting the safety and security of your personal and academic information. Using MFA will greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to Chesapeake College accounts. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second factor—usually a code from your smartphone—in addition to your password.

How to Set Up MFA:

  1. Download the Google Authenticator app from your mobile device’s app store.
  2. Log in to MyCampus on a computer.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to scan the QR code with the Google Authenticator app.
  4. Enter the six-digit code from the app into MyCampus to complete the setup.

Need Assistance? If you don’t have a smartphone or need help with MFA, contact the Help Desk at [email protected] or call 410-822-5400 ext. 2345.
