The switch from My Support to Capita My Account portal

Hello

The following email previously sent out in November, explained that  we are introducing a new Capita My Account Portal, replacing the My Support portal. This is going to go live tomorrow.

Please be aware that if you have not logged into My Support within the past year then you will need to register for an account in the new system which can take up to 5 working days to be approved.

———————————————

Hello,

As a current user of the My Support portal, we are emailing you to let you know that we’ll soon be upgrading your customer portal to the Capita My Account portal. This will offer all of the functionality you enjoy currently plus a whole lot more.

Do I need to do anything?
All you need to do is look out for an email from us when the new portal is ready for you to log in. You will be able to use your same username as you do now for My Support, but you will have to click a button on the login page to generate a new temporary password. Once you’re logged in you can reset it to something more memorable.

What about my existing support cases?
All your active support cases and the past two years’ worth of historical cases will be migrated over and accessible within My Account. You’ll be able to create any new support cases online within My Account as soon as it goes live.

Can other people in my organisation register for an account?
Following go live, we will be emailing all customers about the benefits of registering for My Account so they will get an opportunity later to set up an account.

Further information
To see a sneak preview of what you can expect within My Account, please see our handy My Account overview. Once we’re live you’ll have easy access to further details on how you can utilise each area of the site.

Kind Regards

Capita Education Software Solutions
