Self help

  • Have you entered your login name correctly?
    For Office 365 login, this should be your College email address (systems other than Office 365 may require just loginname, i.e. just the bit before the @ symbol).

  • Is CAPS lock on?
    Your password is case sensitive.

  • Does your account say it’s LOCKED?
    This happens when you enter your password incorrectly too many times, or if you have recently changed your password but have not updated in your EduROAM WiFI setting on your mobile device (it will keep trying to log in with your old password until you update your EduROAM setting).

    Please contact the IT Helpdesk who can unlock your account for you, and can also assist if you are unsure how  to update your password for EduROAM WiFi on your mobile device.

  • Are you trying to login to the VPN?
    Access to the VPN has changed.  You must select the Single Sign-On option on the web access, or ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the VPN client and are have created a VPN connection with the "Enable Sign Sign On (SSO) for VPN Tunnel" option ticked.  You then login with your email address and password.

 If you still can't log in

  • If you are a student, try resetting your password now

    Click here
    to reset a forgotten password now.

    NB: You can only reset a forgotten password if you have previously set your security questions.  We recommend that you set your security questions as soon as you can, so that you can reset a forgotten password yourself without assistance later.
  • If you didn't set your security questions, or aren't a student
    Contact the IT Helpdesk for your campus using the contact information on this page. 

  • I can't see a Shared Calendar I should have access to, or see a calendar someone else in CCG has shared with me

    If you can't see a Shared Calendar), click here to follow Microsoft's guide on how to open and add a missing shared calendar.
    If another user shared the calendar with you and it is no longer visible, ask them to try re-sharing it with you.

  • I (or attendees I invited) have a duplicate calendar appointment or Teams meeting

    This can happen when the original meeting invite was sent to/from Worthing College and another CCG College before 26th July 2021 and is subsequently updated by the organiser, including re-occurring meetings.

    Q: How do I resolve this?

    A: If you are the calendar appointment or Teams meeting organiser, we recommend that you append ‘UPDATE #1’, ‘UPDATE #2’ or similar to the subject line, to ensure attendees can easily identify and delete an original out-of-date meeting and keep the updated meeting.  

    A: If you are the attendee and it is not clear which is the correct meeting, please clarify with the meeting organiser before deleting either of the duplicate meetings from your calendar. 

    You will be able to identify the updated meeting if the organiser updated the subject line when sending a meeting update (e.g. 'Project Meeting UPDATE #1').   If not, you may still be able to identify the outdated meeting as you will not have accepted the new meeting invite, and additionally the older meeting may show the organiser’s name as name@campus.ac.uk on on the appointment, where the new invite will show it as 'firstname lastname''.

    Q: Will my Teams Meeting link still work if the organiser does not send an update?

    A: Yes, when the organiser is a non-Worthing College user in CCG and has invited Worthing College users as attendees.

    A:  Unconfirmed, when the organiser is a Worthing College user and attendees are non-Worthing users in CCG.  It should work but please be prepared for if it does not.  For an important meeting, we recommend that the organiser send an updated meeting invite (with a subject line note appended as above).
