All Students Must Activate Their ctcLink Account Before Enrolling in Classes
Activate your ctcLink account to enroll and pay for classes, apply for financial aid, check your “time to degree” completion estimate, view the course catalog, access your student record and grades, apply for graduation and more.
Note: If you missed your ctcLink ID during account activation, email Highline’s ITS Help Desk. They will help you retrieve it. View the tutorial on how to activate your account and other useful tasks.
If you have already activated your ctcLink account, but do not remember your ctcLink ID number, email admissions@highline.edu for assistance. Please do not resubmit an application.
Activate Your Account
To activate your new account, follow the “Activate Your Account” link on the login screen. During this process, you will get your new ctcLink ID. Remember to write it down. You will see it only once during activation. Watch this step-by-step video to learn more.
Forgotten Password
If you can’t remember your ctcLink password, follow the “Forgot your password?” link on the login screen. You will be asked to provide answers to the hint questions you set up when creating your account. See instructions.
ctcLink Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA is an added layer of security used to verify the user’s identity when they sign in to an application, by using more than just a username and password (which can be easily hacked), such as the use of another known device to prove your identity. Visit the ctcLink Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Guide to help you set up MFA for your ctcLink MyAccount. Please note: If this is your first time with ctcLink, please activate your ctcLink MyAccount first.
View Class Schedule and Enroll in Classes
If you are a current student, you can view the class schedule and enroll in classes once you have activated your ctcLink account and are logged in. View this Canvas module or PDF document to learn more. Not sure when you can enroll? Watch this video to learn how to check your enrollment date.
Visit the steps to enroll on the Registration and Records site for additional enrollment information.
If you are not a current Highline College student or have not activated your ctcLink account yet, you can still view and browse the classes we offer.
