ctcLink Student Account Information
ctcLink provides you with a centralized system to conduct your college business.

Your ctcLink account gives you access to the following applications:
- Manage Classes: register for, add, and drop classes

- Profile: view or update personal information, including your contact information
- Financial Account: pay tuition and fees and check your account balance
- Financial Aid: manage and accept financial aid awards and applications
- Report Time as a Student Employee

- Your ctcLink ID and password are also the credentials used to access your Canvas learning account (but note that Canvas is a separate application).
