Account Authentication Update!

You may have already noticed the introduction of a new wireless network, “Sweet Briar”, which replaces SBC Wifi. To connect to the Sweet Briar wifi, simply use your SBC Online Services credentials, the same ones you use to access my.sbc.edu.

Furthermore, the Infobase Learning portal is now accessible using your SBC Online Services credentials. Click this link to explore these resources: Infobase Learning Portal

Starting on Wednesday, February 14th, there will be a change in VPN authentication. To access the VPN, update your VPN settings to reflect your SBC Online Services password. Your username should remain unchanged.

If you encounter any issues, please email helpdesktickets@sbc.edu to submit a work order.

How do I access my SBC accounts?

How to reset my password/s?
  

Your SBC Email and mySBC accounts are two separate accounts that share the same username and original password.

SBC Email & Canvas:

  • After you log into your email, click the Gear icon in the upper right corner under settings, then click “See all settings” and follow these steps:
  • Click the Accounts tab, then Google Account settings in the top block
  • Click on “Security” on the left-hand side
  • Under Signing in to Google, click the arrow to the right of Password
  • Enter your New password, then Confirm new password
  • Click the Change password box

If you changed your SBC email password, it also changed your Canvas password, but it DID NOT change your SBC Online Services (mySBC, Sweet Briar wifi) password.

SBC Online Services (mySBC, Sweet Briar wifi):

I’m not able to access my SBC Email account on a different device, it’s asking me for another code or contact our system administrator.
  

If you accessed your SBC email on an iOS device, it didn’t prompt you to enroll in 2 Step verification. The easiest way to enroll in 2 Step verification, contact the Help Desk at helpdesktickets@sbc.edu to request an additional 8-digit code. Once the codes are available, access your email account on a computer, it will prompt you for the 8-digit code, if it doesn’t prompt for the 8-digit code, select the “Try another way” link.

Once in your SBC email, it will prompt you to enroll in 2 Step Verification, which is mandatory. It will prompt you for your password again, then step you thru adding your mobile number for 2 step verification (This process is not complete until you receive the prompt to “Turn On” the 2 Step verification).

Now whenever you access your email on a different device, you will be prompted via text or gmail prompt (depending on how you setup your verification).
