• Enter your username (SBC email address without @sbc.edu)
• Enter your password
• Enter the (one-time-use) 8-digit code that you were provided to access your email and setup 2-Step verification. If you need an additional 8-digit code, email helpdesktickets@sbc.edu with your request
• Once in your email, it will prompt you to enroll in 2-Step verification. Please complete this process now or you will not be able to access your email on another device.

1. Visit https://portal.office.com and login with your SBC Online Services password to register your account.

The mySBC portal (my.sbc.edu) provides access to your Sweet Briar resources (e.g. Student, Faculty and Employee information, Service Requests and the Internal Directory). DUO Multi Factor Authentication is required to access mySBC.

To access your mySBC portal:

• Visit the website: https://my.sbc.edu
• Enter your username (SBC email address without @sbc.edu)
• Enter your original password that was provided to you. Please note, if you changed your SBC email password, it also changed your Canvas password, but it DID NOT change your SBC Online Services (ex. mySBC, Sweet Briar wifi) password

To improve security, we encourage you to:

• Create strong passwords and change them regularly.
• Use passphrases to create long and secure passwords. For example, use “Th3CowJumpedOverTheM00n” instead of “The cow jumped over the moon.” It’s over 15 characters long and nearly impossible to crack.
• Never write a password down and stick it near your device (e.g. top drawer, back of the laptop, mobile case, etc.). Yes, people do this!
• Do not use birthdays, family names, pets, locations, and words that you can find in the dictionary – hackers can easily source this info online. They also guess season and year combinations, such as “Summer2017.” This is a popular password format, so it’s best to avoid using it.
• Do not store your passwords in your email account, unsecured Cloud accounts, or anywhere that is open to a hack.
• Consider a password manager, but realize that these are also subject to hacking.
