Submit a request for help with computer problems or check the status of an open request with TeamDynamix. Here's how:

  1. Click "Submit a Request" on the left.
  2. Fill out the form (all boxes in red are required). Tip: the more information you include, the easier it will be to help you and the faster we can get it done!
  3. Click "Submit Request." You'll see an acknowledgment screen with an access key. Make sure you write the access key down, because you'll need it to check on the status of your request.
    Don't see the access key? Double-check the form—did you miss a required field?

That's it - we'll help as quickly as we can and get you back up and running!

SCC provides computers for course assignments and research in the Schnare Library (3-SL).

All students will log on to SCC Wi-Fi, campus computers, and web-based services like Canvas, mySCC Portal and Office 365 using their college-assigned email address.

This username is composed of the first letter of your first and last names and a six digit number assigned by the college.

For example, Stevie Nicks would have a college-assigned email address like: sn123456@my.stchas.edu

Stevie would log into SCC online resources using sn123456@my.stchas.edu and her password.

Contact the IT Service Desk at 636-922-8555 if you don't know your college-assigned email address.

Your initial SCC password will be:

  • First initials of your first and last name
  • Period “.”
  • Your four-digit birth year
  • A period"."
  • All seven digits of your Student ID (including leading zeroes)

For example, if your name is Stevie Nicks, you were born in 2000, and your Student ID is 0426784, your initial password would be: sn.2000.0426784

Your SCC password protects your information. In order to protect such information, passwords expire 6 months from the date they are set.

Students should change their default password to a personalized password and set up account recovery options as soon as possible.

You can access the password tool at: http://aka.ms/sspr 

If you are still using your initial password, go to http://aka.ms/sspr, and sign in under "To enroll or update your profile login below."

 

To access the mySCC portal, you will login with your college-assigned email address and your password.

Your college assigned-email address should be in the welcome letter you received after applying to the college. If you no longer have that letter, or the letter does not contain your college-assigned email address, you can call the IT Service Desk to look it up for you.

Your welcome letter should also contain your default password. The default password should follow this formula:

  • First initial and last initial
  • Period (.)
  • Four-digit birth year
  • Period (.)
  • All seven digits of your student ID (this includes any leading zeroes)

For example, if your name is Stevie Nicks, you were born in 2000, and your Student ID is 0426784, your initial password would be: sn.2000.0426784
