Important Announcement

Jefferson State is switching from Blackboard to Canvas for 2024 fall semester courses. Please review the following!

Fall semester students will use the myJSCC link on the JSCC homepage and their rapid identity account credentials to access Canvas. Any fall semester student who has not claimed their A#@alabama.edu rapid identity account should do so immediately.
To claim your account, search for an email from noreply@rapididentity.com in the personal e-mail address you have on file in Banner. Please follow the instructions in the e-mail to claim your A#@alabama.edu account. If you need any help or have any questions please contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@jeffersonstate.edu or by calling (205) 856-6088. The noreply@rapididentity.com address is NOT spam or phishing, it is ACCS contacting you with instructions.
