Welcome to 天涯海角APP! Follow these steps to get your student account fully set up and secure.

Step 1: Log In to Your Account

Logging into your 天涯海角APP student Microsoft account allows you to access your My天涯海角APP accounts and reset your password anytime. Some students already have a personal Microsoft account.  Please note: your 天涯海角APP student Microsoft account is a separate account and will use a different username and password from your personal Microsoft account. 

You’ll need:

  • Username (天涯海角APP email address found in your acceptance email)
  • Temporary password (found in your acceptance email)

Steps:

  1. Go to:  
  2. At the Microsoft Sign In page, enter your 天涯海角APP email (e.g., username@stumail.jccc.edu).
  3. Select Next.
  4. Enter your temporary password from your acceptance letter.
  5. Select Sign in.

  3. Choose Phone from the dropdown.
    • Enter your phone number, including area code. If outside the U.S., select the correct country.

  4. Choose “receive a code” and click Next.
  5. Enter the code sent to your phone.
  6. Click Next, then Done.
  7. When asked if you want to stay signed in:
    • Choose Yes on a personal device.
    • Choose No on a public/shared device.
  8. After logging in to your account, select Change Password to change your temporary password to one that’s secure and easy to remember.
    • Password must not contain the user’s name or username, must have 10 characters, and have at least three of the following:
      • Uppercase letters (A–Z)
      • Lowercase letters (a–z)
      • Numbers (0–9)
      • Symbols (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & *)
  9. Create and confirm your new password.
  10. Select Submit.
