At SCU, we use a single sign-on system to access most of the applications that people use day to day, including Gmail, Camino (Canvas Learning Management System), and Zoom.
Accounts are automatically set up for new students. The instructions below will help you to claim your new SCU account, and to set a password that only you know.
Before you start, gather the following information:

Graduate students, please check your admitted student portal.
First step: When you're ready, click on the link in your "New SCU Account Information" email.
