Joining the InCommon Federation
InCommon Membership
To facilitate our federated identity initiative to allow single sign-on access to all systemwide technology offerings, CCCCO and the CCC Technology Center have put together an agreement for all California Community Colleges to have an InCommon Membership. Ongoing funding for this effort is a part of the Technology Initiatives for Student Success funded by the legislature.
InCommon, operated by Internet2, provides a trust fabric for higher education, their vendors, and partners to facilitate single sign on from local campus accounts. InCommon also offers security certificate services.
Participants of InCommon include higher education institutions, government and non-profit research centers, and corporate sponsored partners.
Single Sign-On for Higher Education Vendors
Microsoft, Blackboard, Canvas, Box, Dropbox, National Student Clearinghouse, rSmart, Parchment, EBSCO, are among the many participants of InCommon providing online services to colleges.
Single Sign-On for CCC Systemwide Technology Offerings
Low or no-cost offerings to the colleges such as Common Assessment, the Common Course Management System (Canvas), Education Planning, Degree Audit, Retention (Hobsons/Starfish), MyPath (Student Services Portal), CCCApply, and all systemwide technology applications will be available to the colleges via the InCommon Federation.
How do we sign up?
Attached is the standard Participation Agreement+Addendum that modifies the Agreement so that Membership Fees can be paid centrally by the CCC Technology Center for the system.
