Creating Your Knight Account

(Knight Account Activation)

New or returning CCRI students (students who have not been enrolled in a class for 2 years or more), must create a Knight account by going to the USERNAME LOOKUP page and entering CCRI ID or 9-digit Social Security number, birth date [MMDDYYYY] and press the Look Up button to process the inquiry. Your Knight username, CCRI email address will be returned.

It will take 60 minutes for the account to be created. The default password is the first 3 letters of the username (first letter Capitalized) followed by underscore (_) and the last 4 numbers of the CCRI ID number (for example: Jdo_1234).   To get the underscore, you will need to use the shift key and dash which is located to the left of the plus + sign.
