Check Account Status

To ensure your account is active and ready to use, follow these steps:

  • Verify your account is still active if you have not taken classes in several years.
    • If the account is inactive, you must reapply to Pima to get access again.

Check Your Username and Password

To make sure you are entering your login information correctly, follow these steps:

  • Confirm your username is correct.
    • The username is the first part of your email (example: jsmith5) and can be found in your acceptance email.
  • Type your password carefully.
    • Check that the "Caps Lock" is off on your keyboard.
    • Passwords are case-sensitive and must be typed exactly as they were created.
  • Use the right format for the page you are using:
    • On the MyPima SSO page, use only your username.
    • For Google, Microsoft Office, or other Pima applications, you may need to enter your full email address (example: jsmith5@pima.edu).

Fix Web Browser Problems

Sometimes, your web browser (such as Chrome or Safari) saves outdated information that can cause errors. To fix browser issues, follow these steps:

  • Try to sign in using a "Private" or "Incognito" window to see if the error goes away.
  • Clear your browser's history and cookies to delete old, broken data.
  • Try using a different web browser or another computer.
