  Verify that you can login to your Microsoft account

  Verify that you are able to log into MyApps.Microsoft.com using your current email address and password.

  • I can login to MyApps.
    MyApps is your student portal for accessing various services at ECC. If you change your password, it will change for all services. If you are able to login successfully, no other action is needed. If this is your first time logging in, you will be asked to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your account.
  • I cannot login to MyApps.
  • • I am a new student.
      Your student account will not be created until one business day after you are registered for curriculum courses. Please contact your advisor or ECC Student Services to register for your first semester. This can be done over the phone at (252) 618-6526. In future semesters, you will be able to self-register through Self Service.
    • What is my email address?
      Your email address is your first initial, last name, and first four digits of your date of birth followed by @my.edgecombe.edu
      Example: John Smith born May 18, 1988 = jsmith0518@my.edgecombe.edu
    • What is my password?
      If you have not previously changed your password, your initial password is the last six digits of your Social Security Number.
    • I still can’t login.
      If you have successfully logged in before, try a Password Reset. If that does not work, please complete a Tech Support Request.
