Adjunct Faculty

All adjunct faculty who have taught within the past 12 months have access to a college email account and access to the OCCC wireless network. Access to MineOnline, the wireless network, and your email account are linked together. You only have to remember one username (ID) and password for all three services.

To use these new services will require a username (ID) and password! If you need additional information or clarification please call 682-7509.

Username (ID)

Your username (ID) will be based upon your first name, middle initial, and last name stored within the college's Student Information System. Let's look at an example:

Jane A. Doe would be given an ID of jane.a.doe. This ID would be a combination of her first name (FN), middle initial (MI) and last name (LN) separated by a ".". If Jane did not have a middle initial, her user ID would be jane.doe. If you want to know what your user ID is, click here. Of course, there will be situations in which more than one person will have the same first name, middle initial, and last name, but the number of these should be minimal. When this does occur, a unique number will be placed at the end of the original name. If there was a second Jane A. Doe, the ID for the second Jane might be jane.a.doe02.

Password

The initial password will be set to the four digits of the month and day of your birthday. You are strongly encouraged to change this password as soon as possible. Documentation regarding this can be found by clicking here. The only way to change your password is through your email account.
