The login process can vary slightly between websites, but most use the same username and password. The commonly used faculty websites are listed below along with the login information used for each.
Faculty Portal
You can access the Faculty Portal by navigating to gcuportal.gcu.edu and selecting Faculty Access.
Once on the login page, enter your GCU email (@gcu.edu) and password.
It’s best to always log into the Faculty Portal and click on the link for the class you are teaching, rather than logging into LoudCloud directly.
LoudCloud
To log into LoudCloud, you will use your GCU username (usually firstname.lastname) and password.
Faculty training courses are initiated by email invite and are not accessible through the Faculty Portal. If you are unable to log into a faculty training course, you will need to speak with your Faculty Scheduler.
CIRT (Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching)
To log into CIRT, you will be using your GCU username and password.
DC Network Login
To log into the DC Network, you will be using your GCU username and password.
Doctoral Portal (Dissertation Management Site)
The Doctoral Portal can be accessed directly via dissertation.gcu.edu. Most often, however, you will receive an email with a link to the site in order to approve a dissertation stage.
The login steps differ depending on whether you are an internal or external committee member. Internal members have @gcu.edu or @my.gcu.edu email addresses, while external members will use a personal email.
If you are an external committee member who is accessing the Doctoral Portal for the first time, you will first need to register your account. Contact Faculty Technical Support (602-639-7201) for assistance with this process if needed.
Email for Adjunct Faculty (@my.gcu.edu)
As an adjunct faculty, you can access your email through the Faculty Portal or directly at outlook.office.com. To log into your email, you will be using your GCU email (@my.gcu.edu) and password.
Email for Full-time Faculty (@gcu.edu)
As a full-time faculty, you can access your email through the Outlook application on your GCU issued computer or directly at gcumail.gcu.edu. To log into your email, you will be using your GCU email (@gcu.edu) and password. If you are having issues with accessing your email, contact Help Desk.
ThunderTime
ThunderTime is the preceptor side of the Lopes Activity Tracker. Preceptors can access the site through Thundertime.gcu.edu. Your login information is your GCU email (@my.gcu.edu) and password. If you’re having trouble accessing your account, you can reset your password through the Microsoft reset link or contact Faculty Technical Support for assistance.
If you attempt to reset your password using the Microsoft reset, be sure to setup your recovery options. For information on setting up your recovery options and resetting your password, navigate to the article New Password Reset Process.
