Southwest and all VCCS colleges are moving to a new cloud-hosted MySouthwest/myVCCS portal on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Nothing in your portal will change, this only affects security and how you log in to the portal.
Starting at 7:00 am on the 24th, you will see a new portal interface and login screen. After entering your username you will automatically be redirected to a “Claim Account” screen. A claim code will be sent by either SMS text or an email address (depending on what we have on file for you). Next, you will be required to enter your birth date and the claim code. Finally, you will be required to update your password. Please note that the new password must be at least 14 characters and meet new complexity rules. Below are instructions on how to claim your account.
IMPORTANT
There are also videos available in the myVCCS portal under the myVCCS Support tile.
Click on the new portal tile to access the General How-To’s and Multi-Factor Authentication Setup videos and instructions.
If you have any questions or issues once the new system goes live, please reach out to the IT Department and we will assist you. You can reach us at extension 637641 or 276-964-7641, or email us at sw.support@sw.edu.
All locations will return to regular schedule on Friday, October 4, 2024.
