What is an OpenCCC account and why do

Student Account System & The CCCID When an account is created by a user, a unique identifier is created for that user called the CCCID (California Community Colleges ID) and the user's personal identification data is stored in an Identity Center. The CCCID is the master link between the Identity Center, admission applications, and other system wide technology services. CCCID & Student Data Passed to Colleges When a user is authenticated to use a systemwide service or application such as CCCApply or MyPath, the CCCID is passed to that service to identify the unique individual. In this way, services and applications can maintain personal accounts for the user anonymously, thus ensuring privacy for the user. |

users go to create their account?
Since students need an OpenCCC account to apply to a California Community College using CCCApply, most students will create their account the first time they apply for admission. Even high school students, applying for the first time, or exploring careers with Career Coach, are required to have an CCCID account. All students and potential students are required to create an OpenCCC account before they can access any CCC technology application and will encounter the account sign in page when they click on an application URL.
