How we can help

The Help Desk is your best resource for troubleshooting technical difficulties associated with your student accounts.

 

These problems include:

  • Incorrect username and/or forgotten password
  • Problems logging in to student e-mail, campus network, campus Wi-Fi, library database, or Canvas.
  • Wi-Fi is available at Cuyamaca Wireless for registered students who bring their own devices. We can help you access the Wi-Fi and use your student account.

When to seek outside help

Knowing who to call and when is invaluable and saves precious time. This is especially crucial if you are enrolled in an online course.

  •  Canvas questions: use the help button in Canvas to find answers and get support.  If you don't see your course in Canvas or need a quiz reset, contact your instructor.
  • Reset your Self Service password:  Contact Admissions and Records at 619-660-4275.
