Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø

Students are required to enter either a primary cell phone number or email address to receive emergency notifications and to use the self-service password reset tool. Students are not required to enter both and the secondary cell phone number is optional. The secondary cell phone number should be different from the primary cell phone number and is used for providing emergency communications to a loved one (i.e.: parent, spouse, etc).

Please follow the directions below to specify a private cell phone number or email address that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø shall use for electronic communications:

1. Navigate to My Portal by clicking on the link located at the top of the District or any college campus website.
2. Log into the portal using your username and password.
3. After successfully logging into the portal:
   • If this is your first time logging into the portal, or you have not submitted any Communication Preferences in the past, you will see a popup dialog as follows:
     
     Click on the "ok" button to open the Communication Preferences form.
   • If you have previously submitted Communication Preferences in the past, you can make changes by selecting Communication Preferences from your profile name located at the top right hand side of the portal screen as follows:
     
     
     Note: Your name will display where "Test Employee 1" appears in the image above.
4. The Communications Preferences panel will display as follows:
   
   The Primary Cell Number and Personal Email Address are used for all electronic communications and for self-service password resets.
   • Students are required to enter either a personal Primary Cell Number or Personal Email Address. Both are not required.
   • Employees are not required to enter any contact information and can submit a blank form. Keep in mind that doing so will opt such employees out of all notifications (including emergencies) and from being able to use the self-service password reset tool.
   • The Secondary Cell Number is completely optional and should be a different number from the Primary Cell Number. The purpose of the Secondary Cell Number is to keep a loved one notified of any emergencies happening on campus. This Secondary Cell Number is only checked for formatting and is not validated via a text message code, so emergency notifications to the Secondary Cell Numbers will fail if entered improperly.
5. Click on the Submit button after entering your desired communication cell numbers or email address:
   • If you entered a primary cell number and also a personal email address the following will display:
