Adjunct Faculty Technology Orientation & Online Help

Your FVTC ID number and username will be sent to you and your hiring manager via email once your account has been created.

Your username for our sites is your nine-digit FVTC ID number followed by "@fvtc.edu" (example: 123456789@fvtc.edu). Our sites do not allow you to sign in with your email address—you must enter your username. If your computer or web browser automatically populate your email address on our Sign in page, please select the lower option to "Use another account" where you will be prompted to enter your username.

Once you have your FVTC ID number, you’ll need to set the password for your account.

To set or reset your password, visit www.fvtc.edu > STAFF > RESET PASSWORD

In the Email or Username prompt, enter your FVTC username. You must enter your nine-digit FVTC ID number followed by "@fvtc.edu" (example: 123456789@fvtc.edu). Our sites do not allow you to sign in with your email address—you must enter your username.

One Big Thing:

You must use Microsoft multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access FVTC systems.

Why it matters:

MFA adds a second step to your login, helping protect your personal, academic, and financial data from unauthorized access.

What to do first

• Sign in with your username and password
• Complete verification using your registered phone (text or call)

Go Deeper

• Default setup:
  • Your primary phone number from HR onboarding is already on your account
  • Choose SMS code or phone call to verify
• Recommended option:
  • Use the Microsoft Authenticator app (iPhone or Android)
  • Approve sign-ins with number matching for faster, more secure access
  • Free
• Bottom line:
  • No MFA step = no access to FVTC secure systems

To manage or update your Microsoft MFA authentication methods, please visit this webpage: MFA.fvtc.edu

If you are unable to successfully sign in to manage your Microsoft MFA authentication methods, please call our IT Helpdesk.
