Student Accounts and Login

Every student will have an Florida State College student login account and will need to use this login information for all Florida State College systems. A student's user ID and Password will be the same for Connections, College e-mail, and Blackboard.

To activate your Florida State College account, go to https://Connections.fccj.edu/student/ and follow the instructions.

It is very important to remember your account ID, Password and Security Question and Answer. Security of your student records is very important. If you need assistance resetting your password the technical support staff will ask for your answer to the security question to confirm your identity. If you do not know the answer to this question, you will have to complete some less convenient steps to gain access to your account.

Changing of passwords can to be done through Connections and will be global in effect.

Once activated your College account ID, it will be used for the following:

• Connections
  
  Connections is a Web-based student portal where you can conduct most necessary business with the College through the Internet. Through Connections you can access your student e-mail account, course management systems (Blackboard), grades, financial aid information, registration and payment, and much more.
  
  
• Florida State College E-mail
  
  Every student has a free e-mail account accessible through Connections.
  
  Your e-mail address will be your Florida State College Student ID followed by “@students.fccj.edu” (e.g., userid@students.fccj.edu)
  
  
• Blackboard Course Management Systems
  
  Your online course will be presented in the Blackboard course management system. You might need to login and check both systems to determine which one your Professor is using for each of your online courses.
  
  You can enter Blackboard through Connections or through the direct URL:
  
  Blackboard - http://bb.fccj.edu
  

You can log in to your course beginning on the first day of class  from Connections or through the direct links listed above.

Instructors will make their course(s) available by the first day of class.
