CCU Account Access from Abroad
With the increase of security threats and breaches worldwide, the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for secure account access for Coastal Carolina University students, faculty, and staff when traveling, studying, or living outside the United States or U.S. territories. Read more below.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is:
- the second layer of authentication against security threats when accessing CCU accounts (for example, mobile app verification in addition to your Coastal password).
- managed efficiently on your mobile tablet or cell phone that you will take to an international location.
- a great tool to secure your CCU account! See MFA tips for international travelers »
