Login problems?

Go through this check list to see if you did anything incorrectly:

For example, if your Saddleback College email address is: jsmith12@saddleback.edu, then your username is jsmith12

1. Did you mis-type your username or password?

2. Did you enter your user name entirely in lower case letters, which is necessary?

3. Did you type a letter "o" when you should have typed a zero "0"?

4. Did you remember to omit "@saddleback.edu" after your username?

5. Did you accidentally leave a space in your name? Do not leave spaces in the username or password.

6. Have you registered within the last 24 hours. It takes that long for a new user name and password to be added to the college database.

7. If you typed your password with the keyboard number pad, was the "number lock" turned on? Otherwise you will not type numbers.

8. Are you a currently registered student at Saddleback College? If not, you cannot log in. IVC students may not log in either. IVC students who wish to use Saddleback College remote databases must go to Saddleback Admissions & Records and have their college of record changed from Irvine Valley College to Saddleback College.

9. Does you computer accept "cookies". Your computer must accept cookies.

10. Do you have a firewall installed on your computer? If so, it might not be allowed to accept "referred URL's". Consider taking down your firewall temporarily, while using the databases, and then re-instate it. We cannot help you with this. Seek professional help!
