Once the State Admission Application has been processed (approximately 5-7 business days), a welcome email is sent from the college with your ctcLink ID and you will need to activate your ctcLink account.

Until you create your ctcLink account and set up a preferred email address, all communication is sent to your high school email. Email notifications sometimes end up in a spam or junk folder, so check those often.
