Your ACCess ID's password should never be shared with anyone. ​Always be careful when clicking on attachments or links in email. If it’s unexpected or suspicious for any reason, don’t click on it. Double check the URL of the website the link takes you to: bad actors will often take advantage of spelling mistakes to direct you to a harmful domain. ​


Think CyberSafety: Alvin Community College faculty and staff will NEVER ask for your password. Emails posing as members of ACC IT (or as automated emails), requesting your user id or password for any reason, should be immediately deleted and reported to the IT Service Desk, itservices@alvincollege.edu.
