CCCID: The Use and Significance of the CCCID to the CCC SSO Initiative
PinnedOpenCCC & The CCCID
OpenCCC is the federated identity initiative and systemwide student account system for the California Community Colleges system. Developed by the CCC Technology Center, the OpenCCC system has generated over 25 million unique student accounts (as of June 2023) supporting single sign-on access to many systemwide technology applications.
What is the CCCID?
When a new OpenCCC student account is created the system generates a unique student identifier for the user called the CCCID (California Community Colleges ID) and stores the user's validated credentials and minimum personal identifiable information in a secure identity management system enabling single sign-on access to admissions applications and other systemwide web-based services.
CCCID & Authentication
The CCCID is the master link between the identity management system, community colleges, and all systemwide technology services. When a user is authenticated to use an application or service such as CCCApply, Canvas or MyPath, the CCCID is passed to that service to identify the unique individual. In this way, services and applications can maintain personal accounts for the user anonymously, thus ensuring the privacy and security of the user’s data.
