All student email accounts were migrated to Okta, a secure cloud-based system. An email notice is sent to all students with an activation link. Prior to logging in for the first time, the Centralia College Portal login must be activated.

Activation emails and activation reminders are sent to the student’s email address as well as their preferred email address from ctcLink. The activation link is only good for seven days, and is resent every seven days until the account is activated.

If you are unable to activate your account using the link, contact the ITS Department Helpdesk by emailing helpdesk@centralia.edu. Please include your full name, student ID number, and description of the issue in your request. We will verify your information and assist in getting your account activated.

You will need to activate your Centralia College Portal login prior to logging in the first time.
