ESCC Students! Please watch your student email for important information on the upcoming implentation of Multi-factor Autehntication.
What is Multi-factor Authentication, and Why is it Needed?

Why is this additional security needed? Phishing (scam) emails are becoming more prevalent and sophisticated, and passwords alone are no longer strong enough to protect information.
