What is my username?
If you have previously used Canvas or Student Email at another Virginia Community College, you will use the same username. If you are new or do not know your username, you can look it up using your EMPLID or social security number and other identifying information.
Please Note: Your Username is not your Emplid!

For additional help view this guide: How to Reset your Password [PDF].
Students are required to change their password the first time they log in to myRCC. Your password is a secret word or phrase that you should not share with anyone; it protects the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. Select a strong password that is easy for you to remember, but very difficult for someone else to guess.
After changing your password you will be required to use a Multi-Factor Authentication. By default this usually sends a numeric code to your recorded alternate email address. If this is out of date, you may need to contact the help Desk for assistance. For detailed information regarding the Multi-Factor Authentication, view the information at the top of this page.
What if I can’t remember my password and don’t have security questions?
Call us at 804.333.6786 or send an email to rcchelp@rappahannock.edu to have your password reset. If you send an email you will need to include a current phone number. We cannot change passwords via email and must contact you directly.
