Duo Multi-Factor Authentication
Duo Security is a multi-factor authentication service that all CCV students are required to use when logging in to VSCS services such as Canvas, Portal, Self-Service, and more.
- Authentication methods: Duo offers several methods of multi-factor authentication. The Duo Mobile application is the easiest way to authenticate. If you do not have a smartphone, you can enroll a regular cell phone (SMS) for two-factor authentication. If none of the previous methods work for you, hardware tokens are available on request. Information about requesting a hardware token can be found on our FAQ page.
- Logging in: When logging in, you will still enter your username and password. After inputting your login information, Duo requires you to complete a method of second-factor authentication. Duo can remember your browser for 12 hours before receiving another prompt for two-factor authentication.

Transcripts
The unofficial transcript is good for many purposes, including high school credit or employer needs. However, if you are applying to another college, the college will want an official transcript.
To send your official CCV transcript to an employer, another educational institution, or any other third party you can place your request electronically through Parchment, where you will need to create an account separate from your CCV Portal account.
This secure website offers transcripts that can be electronically delivered to an in-network college or university, emailed to an individual (they receive a one-time download code within an email) or sent using various shipping methods, including overnight. The minimum processing fee is $6.50 per transcript. Other charges apply according to the chosen method of delivery.
Please be aware that all financial or library obligations with CCV as well as any of the VSC colleges must be met before we can release your transcript.
To print your unofficial CCV transcript:
- Log in to the Portal.
- Click on the “Registration” tile and follow the “Unofficial Transcript” link
