First day of classes on the Paris, Republic, or Turin campus, and impossible to find the schedule sent by email the day before. You open a browser, type an approximate URL, and land on a redirect page without explanation. This scenario affects a good portion of newcomers to ESCP each year, simply because the login architecture relies on several distinct portals that are easily confused.
CAS ESCP: the single entry point before MySchool
The majority of online guides describe logging into MySchool as if the platform had its own login form. In practice, everything goes through the CAS ESCP (cas.escp.eu), the school’s centralized authentication system.

This Single Sign-On mechanism means that a single username/password pair gives access to MySchool, the ENT, webmail, and library resources. You log in once via the CAS, then navigate between services without re-entering your credentials, as long as the session remains active.
To find the details of this procedure and the associated services, you can access MySchool ESCP via Emploi Biz from a guide that details each step.

The username generally follows the format firstname.lastname assigned by the administration during registration. The initial password is communicated by email to the personal address provided in the admission file. If this email landed in spam or was deleted, the recovery procedure goes through the dedicated page for connection issues accessible directly from the CAS.
MySchool and Campus Life: two ESCP portals not to be confused
This is the point that generates the most confusion. ESCP has two complementary platforms coexisting, and mixing them up is like looking for your schedule where the student events are located.
- MySchool manages the academic side: schedules, grades, educational resources, course registrations, and communication with faculty.
- Campus Life (campuslife.escp.eu) centralizes student life: associations, events, practical daily services on each campus.
- The two portals share the same CAS identifier, but their content and interfaces are completely separate.
When looking for a course calendar or a project document, it’s MySchool. When you want to join an association, sign up for an after-work event, or check housing information, it’s Campus Life. This “dual portal” structure is rarely mentioned in existing guides, even though it saves time by avoiding searching in the wrong space.
Blocked connection to MySchool: concrete failure scenarios
A account that no longer responds after the start of the semester is rarely a bug in the platform. The most common causes can be identified with a few checks.
Expired password or blocked account
ESCP requires a periodic password change. When the deadline is missed, the account locks on the next login attempt. Several attempts with an old password trigger an additional temporary block.
The reset page is accessible from the CAS form via the “Forgot password” link. You receive a reset email at the address associated with the account. If this address is no longer active, you need to contact the school’s IT support directly.
Browser and cache
Feedback varies on this point, but clearing the browser cache resolves a significant portion of redirect loop errors between the CAS and MySchool. The CAS uses session cookies that can conflict with old sessions that remain open.
Using a private browsing window allows you to quickly test whether the problem comes from the cache or a real server-side blockage.
Making the most of student services on MySchool ESCP
Once logged in, the platform offers much more than just displaying the schedule. Three features deserve attention because they are underutilized.
Notifications and progress tracking
The MySchool notification system alerts in real-time about room changes, class cancellations, and new resources posted by professors. Enabling email or push notifications avoids unpleasant surprises on the morning of a rescheduled exam.
The academic tracking space allows you to view your grades by module and identify subjects where the average is slipping before it’s too late to catch up.
Collaborative projects and educational tools
MySchool integrates group workspaces where documents are shared directly on the platform. Instead of multiplying email threads and shared folders on third-party services, you centralize deliverables in the same place as the professor’s brief.
Educational resources (course materials, bibliographies, case studies) are linked to each module. They remain accessible after the course ends, making it easier to revise during exam periods.
Communication with administration
Requests for enrollment certificates, absence justification, and certain administrative procedures now go through forms integrated into the intranet. The status of the request can be tracked directly from MySchool, without needing to send a separate email or physically go to the office.
Logging into MySchool ESCP is not just about finding the right URL. Understanding that the CAS centralizes authentication, distinguishing MySchool from Campus Life, and knowing how to respond to a blocked account covers almost all situations that students encounter each semester. The rest is daily navigation that quickly becomes automatic once these basics are established.
