After entering your credentials, you may receive a prompt about a trust certificate. Select the “join” or “connect” option on this prompt (the specific wording of this prompt can vary depending on your device).
Accessing the CPCC Cloud Desktop
The Central Piedmont Cloud allows students, faculty, and staff to securely access the campus internet network, classroom software, employee tools, and other Central Piedmont-licensed applications from your personal device from anywhere you have an internet connection, whether you are on campus or off campus.
If a website or function you need to a CPCC class is blocked on your CMS Chromebook, this should allow you to access it more freely.

Clearing storage space on your Chromebook
If you are getting a "hard disk full" error on your chromebook, try clearing space using this tutorial.
"If your Chromebook is running low on disk space, we recommend deleting files you don't need anymore. Chromebooks are built and sold with the idea that you'll use cloud storage for most if not all of your files. This web-centric view of the laptop makes Chromebooks easy to operate and inexpensive to acquire, but Chromebooks are not without some local storage. Because local storage is deemphasized on a Chromebook, finding it isn't always straightforward. With this guide, I'll show you how to access your Chromebook's local storage, find out how much free space remains and how to save, delete and move files"
First time accessing your Google account or Chromebook?
Username: CMS student ID number
Default Password: PwyyyymmddCMS
For example, if the student's birthday was Jan 2nd, 2013, then the password would be Pw20130122CMS
Students will then be prompted to change their password to a password thath as least 13 characters long with at least 3 of the following: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numerals, or special characters.
After students change their password, they will have to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) on their CMS LaunchPad account. Students will create a 6-digit PIN.
