Troubleshooting
-
My NCEdCloud account has the wrong district information (for students that have transferred districts)
Please contact Palisades Student Services for instructions on how to transfer the account to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The previous district must release you from their records for your NCEdCloud account to transfer over.

I can't claim my NCEdCloud Account
If you already have an NCEdCloud account you cannot claim it again. Please login with your last known ID and password. If your password doesn't work, click on the "Password Reset" button to try a password reset.
If you were just recently enrolled from out-of-state to CMS, it takes a bit for the systems to update. Try to claim the account again tomorrow.
