To log into BEACON using the new method:
Visit https://mybeacon.its.state.nc.us/irj/portal , either directly or via My NCSSM; you will see this screen:

Enter your NCSSM email address on the line under “Sign in” and click Next

(Please note that if you have previously elected to stay signed in, you may not receive this prompt again.) Make your desired selections, clicking either Yes or No as the last step

You will now be on the BEACON landing page
