Here’s some important things you need to do and other useful information to help you get ready for your course.
Here’s two important things you need to do to get ready for college.
Once you’ve enrolled we will send you an email titled Get ready for College – set up your CAVC Network Account.
This includes what you need to do to set up your CAVC Network Account to access computers, systems and the MyCAVC app.
All students need to do this at the start of their course. You need to do this whether you are a new CAVC student or you’ve studied with us before.
Your email will include your username, student email address and initial password. Once logged in you’ll be asked to change your password. It is important you do this for security.
• Go to Office 365: https://outlook.office365.com
• Log in using the username and password in the email we have sent you.
• Change your password. This important for you to do.
Your password must meet the following requirements:
o Ten characters or more
o Include 3 out of 4 of the following:
o Uppercase character
o Lowercase character
o Number
o Special character (eg @,!#=%).
Your password must not include your name.
• You’re then taken back the CAVC sign in page. Type in your new password and click ‘sign in’.
• A Microsoft pop up box will then appear with ‘More information required’. Click next. This will take you to an additional security verification page.
• Choose ‘Authentication phone’ from the dropdown box, enter mobile number to be set a code by text message. Click next. You will then be sent a text from Microsoft with a verification code to enter on screen. Enter the code on screen and click verify.
• You’re then asked if you’d like to stay signed in - we recommend you do.
And that’s it! You’ve set up your CAVC Network account! You can now log in to computers in college and access your student emails in outlook, which we will email you on. You can also access the full Microsoft Suite including Microsoft Teams which you will use for some online learning, log into the MyCAVC App and much more!
Visit the Success Centre on your campus when you start college.
We’re also here 10.00am – 2.00pm at City Centre Campus and Barry Campus.
Or email us on successcentre@cavc.ac.uk
Go to Apple App Store or GooglePlay. Search for MyCAVC and download onto your phone or tablet.
Open the app and log in with your CAVC Netwrok Account log on details (Student email and your password). To log in you must have set up your CAVC Network Account first. This will then save your settings.
Then, have all you need to know at a click!
We’ll also be adding new features to the app this summer, and notify you when these are released.
Tip! Turn on notifications so we can send you important messages and updates!
