| Network Account Creation |
| Student accounts are created within 48 hours of your application being accepted and admitted by the Admissions Department. Accounts are valid for one year after your last day of class attendance. Accounts will be disabled if students are not registered for classes following this period. Network accounts are used to log into any computer on campus. |
| Network Account Credentials |
| Student accounts use the following naming convention: |
Username: first six letters of last name + first initial + middle initial + two digit day of birth + last digit year of birth
Password: last four digits of social security number + two digit year of birth. If you did not supply your SSN on the application, your 4 digit year of birth will be used in its place. |
| Note: The username should be in lowercase. If your last name is shorter than six characters, your entire last name should be used. |
| For common last names, there is the possibility of having duplicate account names. If you have a common name or are unsure of your account name, use the form at the top of this page to identify your account name. |
| International Students: Please call the International Students Office at (716) 851-1359 to obtain the number used for your social security number. |
| Email |
| All students have an email address associated with their accounts. Your email address is your account name followed by @ecc.edu. For example, a student account name of smithjr217 would have an email of smithjr217@ecc.edu. Access to email is available through MyECC located at https://myecc.ecc.edu. |
| If you wish to use ActiveSync to sync your ECC email account with your mobile device, use the server address of outlook.office365.com. |
