Note:  If you don't have an alternative email address that isn't linked to an Microsoft account then you will need to create a new email address.

  • open a incognito browser
  • browsed to microsoft.com
  • Clicked "sign-in" in top right corner
  • signed into microsoft.com using CPCC email address and unique password (You may have to select personal account before this step)
  • clicked on "My Microsoft Account" under the profile icon
  • Clicked on "Your info" on the left navigation.
  • Scrolled down to "Account Info"
  • Identify what the email address listed.  It should be your cpcc address.
