• You need an activation code
  • Your activation code is sent in your welcome letter from Admissions. This is a one-time use code which helps us verify your identity.
  • If you did not receive an activation code, please contact the IT Help Desk for further assistance. For verification purposes, please provide your Student ID number and full mailing address as it is on file with the college.
  • ABE/ESL and Community Education students should contact their instructor or department to receive their activation code.
• You will create your username and password and answer a few security questions. Your username will become your email address. This is how you will communicate with instructors, staff and fellow students. It also might be how potential employers contact you. Your username cannot be changed, so please use care when selecting it.
