ISSUE: I don’t know my ctcLink ID.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION:<\/strong> Don’t know your BC Student ID (SID) or ctcLink ID? Use an online ID lookup tool<\/a> to find your BC Student ID (SID), ctcLinkID, or both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that some students may have a ctcLink ID already listed in this lookup tool, too. This does not mean your ctcLink account is active.<\/strong> You must still activate your ctcLink account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISSUE: I cannot log in to ctcLink.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION:\u00a0<\/strong>Please\u00a0activate your ctcLink account (Opens in New Tab)<\/a>\u00a0using your ctcLink ID. Then, after you complete the required information, log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISSUE: I have problems with activating my ctcLink account.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION: <\/strong>Try other formats for your name and\/or date of birth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go to activate your ctcLink account<\/a> and a message pops up that states no match was found, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Try a different variation of your name. Only the official first and last name we have on record will allow you to activate your ctcLink account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Try a different format for your date of birth. Instead of listing your date of birth in MM\/DD\/YYYY format, try DD\/MM\/YYYY. Example: if your date of birth is October 4, 1995, try 10\/04\/1995 and 04\/10\/1995.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    ISSUE: I received an incorrect password notice after trying to log in for the first time.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
