College Increases Online Security Using Two-Factor Authentication

Salt Lake Community College is committed to creating a safe and secure working and learning environment. That commitment extends to our digital accounts and information. 

With these goals in mind, the College is introducing a new two-step login process for all employees to help protect College data from cyber attacks and phishing scams. This new login process provides an extra layer of security after requiring users to first log in with a username and password. Then you will use a second method of verifying your identity, which will require something you have access to, like your smart phone, tablet or a hardware token.

Passwords alone are no longer sufficient to protect our accounts. It is easier than you may think for an attacker to get access to your password. Hackers have many different methods of capturing usernames and passwords. Two-factor authentication can prevent an attacker from accessing your account even if they have your username and password.

Because this new two-factor authentication login process will make our accounts safer, SLCC employees will not have to change their password for at least a year.

  1. I have no phd (portable hardware device: i.e. cell phone, i-pad, etc.), so I haven't found away to log onto the 2-factor authentication.

  2. Thanks for getting in touch, and apologies for the delay! While enabling two-factor authorization is the required method for most, you can request a hard token exception if you don't have a device. More information on this is available here: https://slcc.service-now.com/help/DUO_2FA.do

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community.
