Student Email Information

Eagle Mail (IVCC student email) is an official means of communication and the College expects students to access their account on a regular basis. For new students and students who have not attended IVCC for over a year, your Eagle Mail account will be created within 24 hours after registering for credit courses. Your Eagle Mail account will remain active up to three semesters (1 year) after your last semester in a credit course at IVCC.

IVCC Eagle Mail Login Information

Click "Next" for More Information Required. You should enter your phone number or install the MS authenticator app for your multi-factor authentication (MFA) method. This will give you access to your email and Brightspace accounts, and to reset your password as needed.

If you have not yet updated your password (email/IVCC computer), then you can within your email account.

3. Create a password meeting the following requirements:
  - 14 or more characters in length
  - At least 3 of the 4: uppercase, lowercase, number, special character
  - This password also becomes your IVCC computer password. After resetting your email password, allow 1-2 minutes before logging in to an IVCC computer. This allows time for your password to sync. See Campus Technology.
  - You will be required to reset your password every 90 days.
  - This process only works with the browser version of Microsoft Outlook (not the desktop version).

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA (multi-factor authentication) is a security enhancement where you must present two pieces of evidence (security methods) when logging in to an account. These methods fall into any of these three categories: something you know (e.g., password, pin), something you have (e.g., cell phone), or something you are (e.g., fingerprint). For more information, you can watch the video What is Multifactor Authentication? (1:09)

Phishing Information

A phishing attack is the act of a malicious actor sending emails or texts pretending to be a trustworthy source in order to deceive and steal your personal information. IVCC's IT Department strives to safeguard your inbox from unwanted emails, but occasionally phishing emails can slip through. To learn more about phishing and how to protect yourself from these attacks, watch Microsoft's Protect Yourself from Phishing (1:44) and Simplilearn's Phishing Explained in 6 Minutes (6:47).
