Requesting and Registering an Educator Account

With an Educator Account on CaliforniaColleges.edu, educators can monitor their students’ progress at every stage of the college and career journey: from career exploration and planning coursework, to determining college eligibility, to launching and tracking college and financial aid applications.

Requesting an Educator Account

  • Your district must file a Student Privacy Protection Agreement (as required by AB 1584) to authorize the sharing of student information with the CCGI. Contact Us to begin this process.
  • A Site or District Admin creates your Educator Account. Contact Us if you’re unsure who your Admin is.
  • When your Educator Account is created, you will receive an email with a verification code. Save this code in an easily accessible place.
  • You can then register your account on CaliforniaColleges.edu, following the steps in the tutorial below.
