• Can't find something in the portal?  Check out the Search feature which allows you to search the entire portal for any link or content to which you have access:
  
  NOTE: the portal search also returns results for important student services resources outside the portal. For example, if you were looking for information about admissions, typing that into the search bar would present you with a list of items both inside and outside the portal. In this example, clicking on a search result labeled as "External Document" would take you directly to the Admissions & Records Dept. website at Moorpark College:
  

• Page does not exist error:  If you encounter the following error page when first logging in to the portal, this means you are trying to access a page/tab that no longer exists. This is likely due to a saved bookmark pointing to a resource from the old portal. Please update your browser bookmark(s) (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) :
  

• No content within Tool/Page categories:  If you click on a tool or page category (Example: Registration & Payments) but no content or links are visible within that category, most likely your portal session has timed out.  Simply click the browser Reload/Refresh button.
  

• Shortcuts: to create a shortcut, click the "View all" link, open up the category where the tool/page resides, and then click the star icon:
  

• User Privacy Settings: All user accounts in the MyVCCCD portal use the most restrictive privacy settings.  This means that by default, nobody will be able to search for you, connect to you, see your profile information or interact with you in any way. You can opt-in to these by changing the privacy settings within your account settings:
  

• Dark Mode: The portal has a Dark Mode that can be enabled under the user profile:
  

• Dashboard Widgets: Widgets cannot be removed from your portal dashboard but if you wish to hide the data displayed in a particular widget, you can click the open/close toggle:
  

• Microsoft Office 365 Account (For Employees): Connect the M365 widget to your employee email account.  This does not affect any other connections you've made to your employee email, including your phone.  This only adds a widget view in the portal for your most recent email messages & files.   Simply click the "Connect Account" button:
  

• Events Calendar Subscription: By default, your portal calendar is automatically subscribed to events District-wide, at Moorpark College, at Oxnard College & at Ventura College. You can "opt-out" of event subscriptions by clicking the Events filter icon and de-selecting the check boxes for events you do not want included in your calendar.
  

• Where do I find my "900#"?: Your student/employee 900# is visible within the "My Information" widget on your dashboard:
