Update My Challenge Question

Enhanced Security is an optional feature that is available when you set up or update your Challenge Question. If enabled, it will provide additional security on your eConnect account by requiring that you answer your Challenge Question before accessing the following screens:

  • My Disbursements

  • Update My Email Address

If you want the enhanced security feature enabled, you can also enable or disable this option in Update My Challenge Question in eConnect. You will receive notification when you make a change.

Follow these steps to update your challenge question:

Step 1:

In the address bar of a web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox), enter econnect.dcccd.edu.
