ctcLink

The ctcLink website is a versatile tool for students, offering a range of essential services. Students can use it to register for classes, access student records, update personal information, and more. Additionally, the ctcLink ID and password are required to log in to Canvas, the eLearning platform used by most instructors.
For more information, please refer to the following links:

ctcLink Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 

CCS utilizes enhanced security by implementing multi-factor authentication, adding an extra layer of protection to verify user identities beyond the standard username/ctcLink ID and password method. 

YubiKey for ctcLink MFA 

A YubiKey is a small device that makes your accounts much harder for others to access, adding an extra layer of security to your digital life. Instead of getting a code via text or an app, plug the YubiKey into a USB port or tap it on your phone. This makes logging in quicker and easier.

 

Bigfoot Student Email

The information provided on your application for admission is used to create a Microsoft Office 365 account.
This provides you with a student e-mail address:

Your username is a combination of your First Name, Last Name Initial, and the last four digits of your ctcLink ID number.

Example

First name: Jane
Last name initial: D
Last four digits of ctcLink ID number: 6789
With that information her email address would be JaneD6789@bigfoot.spokane.edu

Note: If your first name is hyphenated or has spaces in it, these will be removed. Ex: Rae-Ann will become RaeAnn; Mary Beth will become MaryBeth. The system will use the name you applied to school with. Thus, if you applied to the school as Raymond, but are usually called Ray, your account will use Raymond for your name.
 

Accessing your Email through Office 365

Password Information

Your initial password will be emailed to the personal email account you provided when applying. The first time you log in to your college login account on a college-owned computer or through Office 365 you will be required to reset your password.
