In our continuous efforts to improve efficiency and enhance the end-user experience, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will be transitioning to Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) for accessing all our systems and applications. Single sign-on is an authentication method that allows a user to log in to a system or application with one user ID and password. This change will help streamline the login process for employees and students, providing you with a more seamless and secure experience. Blackboard will be the first of several systems the Rowan-Cabarrus ITS team will be moving to Microsoft Single Sign-On. What does this mean for you? Beginning Wednesday, March 27th when you access Blackboard, you will be prompted to log in using your Rowan-Cabarrus email address and password. • For Students - Your Rowan-Cabarrus email address is your [last name].[first initial].[last 5 numbers of student ID]@student.rccc.edu • For Faculty/Staff – Your Rowan-Cabarrus email address is your [first name].[last name]@rccc.edu We understand that any technology changes may raise questions, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
