Access and Resources
Use this page as a helpful landing page for acquiring and using the resources available to you while welcome your new employee.
Access Badges
If a new employee will need an access badge to access their workspace, submit a request through FMS ReADY on their behalf. The request for access must be submitted by an Admin (Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants, IAAs, Office Assistants) or a Manager (Dean, Directors, Managers, Supervisors, VPs). For new employees, make sure to include a passport style photo in .jpeg format. If you do not have a suitable photo to upload, employees may contact Enrollment Services for photo assistance.
For more information, visit the ID Badge Policy. For instructions on submitting access requests for 10 individuals or more, visit Public Safety’s Access Control website.
Brass Keys
If a new employee will need a brass key to access their workspace, submit a request through FMS ReADY on their behalf. The request must be submitted by an Admin (Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants, IAAs, Office Assistants) or a Manager (Dean, Directors, Managers, Supervisors, VPs). Keys are issued to staff from the campus Public Safety Department offices. Staff must show identification in order to pick up keys.
For more information, and for instructions on reporting lost keys, visit FMS’s Resources website.
Employee ID Card
For employees who do not need an access badge, employee ID cards are available. Employee ID cards are issued the same place as Student ID Cards. To obtain an employee ID card, visit Enrollment Services at any campus.
For more information, visit Employee ID Cards.
G Number
An employee can look up their own unique ID Number (the G Number) by logging into MyPCC and from the Home tab, clicking on ‘My Profile’ under MyPCC Resources. The G Number will appear on the ‘Personal Information’ tab.
To look up another employee’s G Number, see 3 ways to look up a G Number. Banner access is needed.
PCC Username and Email Address
All faculty and staff are assigned a PCC username and @pcc.edu email address that is tied to their MyPCC account.
New employees who have a past affiliation with PCC (i.e. a past student or employee) will already have a PCC username and email address.
Employees who have never had an affiliation with PCC in the past will be assigned a PCC username and email address once their employee record is activated in Banner.
The username can be used to claim their MyPCC account and access their email account plus other IT services.
Look up an employee’s username by searching for them in the Staff Directory or in Banner page PPAIDEN (the username will be the employee’s Email address minus ‘@pcc.edu’).
More about using PPAIDEN to look up a username
Note: Here is the training page for PPAIDEN
- Go to Banner
- Type PPAIDEN
- If you are aware of the users G#, you can enter it into the ID area and hit Go to the right.
- If you are unaware of the individuals G#, you will need to use the Search tool by clicking on the three dots (…) to the right of the ID entry area.
- Perform a Person Search (SOAIDEN)
- Search by including First and Last name
- Including Middle Name can be helpful for common first and last names.
- Additionally, once you search, you can validate the individual based upon their birthday.
MyPCC Account and Google Account
Once an employee has a G Number and PCC username, they are able to claim their MyPCC account and login to access MyPCC, their email account, Google Suite, along with other applications.
To claim the MyPCC account, the new user should visit MyPCC and click on ‘First time user?’. Returning users who have forgotten their MyPCC password can reset their MyPCC password by clicking on the ‘Forgot your password?’ option or the ‘Need help logging in to MyPCC?’ option. The user will need their username.
Important information on claiming your MyPCC account
Note:
- If the new employee is a NEW USER, they might need to call the IT Service Desk as they may not have an email address on record that is needed to receive the set up code that allows them to create a new password.
- Once the PCC account is claimed, it can take up to 30 minutes for new employees to be able to access MyPCC and Gmail, along with logging into an on-campus computer. Additionally, it can take up to 24 hours to gain access to additional systems and applications, such as Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud.
If after 1 hour, a new employee does not have the access necessary, please reach out to the IT Service Desk at 971-722-4400 or servicedesk@pcc.edu.
Technology Related Services and Support
If you are having trouble accessing a PCC computer, your MyPCC account, Gmail account or are encountering other technology-related issues, please give IT Service Desk a call at x4400 or visit their Employee Help website.
Parking Pass/Trimet Pass
PCC offers transportation options at all of its campuses and centers. Transportation and Parking manages all matters related to parking permits, student public transportation passes, and the PCC Shuttle as well as providing alternative resources for other modes of transportation to all our locations.
Parking Permits
Parking permits are required for all students, faculty, and staff. Student employees must use Student parking permits. Casual employees receive student parking permits at a discounted rate of $40 per term.
Parking permits are ordered through your MyPCC account. View information on types of permits and instructions on ordering a permit in MyPCC.
Temporary parking – Temporary parking is also available at any parking pay station (locations). You may also purchase scratch-off permits from a PCC bookstore or for small or large orders, please email parking@pcc.edu directly (These are valid only in general parking, not in staff parking).
Tri-Met HOP Card
All PCC faculty and staff (including casual employees) can purchase a monthly TriMet HOP card on a pre-tax basis. For the average employee, this would reduce the cost by approximately 31%. Individual savings will depend on your income tax bracket.
To sign up or cancel the program, employees must complete a pre-tax payroll deduction application [pdf] and submit the completed form to the Payroll Department. Applications and cancellations may be made at any time, but must be received by Payroll prior to the 15th of each month to become effective by the following month.
