How to set up your student account and access the myCCBC portal.

As a new student, one of the first things you'll need to do is activate your CCBC student account. 

Let's walk through the process of activating your account, logging into the portal and using other essential online services. 

Activating your account

After applying to CCBC, you should have received an email containing your 9-digit CCBC ID number. Keep this handy when you set up your account.

  • Go to myCCBC and select First-Time User (beneath the login button).
  • Enter your CCBC ID, then follow the prompts to activate your username and password. Your username will consist of the first two letters of your last name and seven numbers of your CCBC ID number.
