Campus Portal and Google Account Access Information


Reasons for Expired or Disabled Accounts:
  1. Expired and Disabled for Inactivity:
    • Access to your campus account may expire if you have not been actively enrolled and completing courses.
    • If you plan to return and take classes, you must reapply for admission to restore your access.
    • Reapply here:  https://sbcc.edu/apply/index.php
    • Account access is typically restored within 1–3 business days after you submit your application.
  2. Excessive Use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
    • Microsoft may flag sign-ins that originate from multiple geographic locations within a short period.
    • This can occur when using a VPN and may result in your account being temporarily disabled as a security precaution.
  3. Security-Related Account Disablement
    • Accounts may be disabled for security reasons, such as suspicious activity or a compromised account.
    • If you need assistance, contact IT User Support here:
