You can reset your account password using the Password Reset tool.
BTC provides all students with an email account.
When you fill out the password reset form, it resets your password for both your network account and your email account. You may get the an error message that says your network password was successful but your email password change failed. You can ignore this error message for the email. The system will automatically sync the new network account password to your email account, so try to log in after about 30 minutes.
The most common problem is with the password. You can reset your email and computer network password using the Password Reset tool.
If resetting the email password doesn't help, contact us at StudentEmailHelp@btc.edu. Include your BTC email address and an email address or phone number where we can contact you. We will do our best to respond within one business day

I have an SID, but don’t know what it is. Look it up!
If you are NEW and do not have an SID yet, select the student type which best describes you.
Use the Washington State Online Application to apply to BTC. We will email your SID to you and let you know what your next step is. This will also begin to establish your residency status for State Funded classes.
Attend a Transitional Studies department Orientation to take ABE, ELA or GED classes. (Adult Basic Education, English Language Acquisition, and GED). You will be assigned an SID and PIN during the orientation and register for classes.
Register without an SID using our Continuing Education page. If you register into a state funded credit class, you will be asked to apply to BTC.
At BTC, you will use your Global PIN for all Registration Tools, the Financial Aid Portal, and the Network Account reset. If you have applied or registered at BTC, your PIN has been set to the default which is your 6-digit birth date in the format MMDDYY (i.e. June 20, 1985 PIN would be 062095).
Sign in to My BTC Portal to change your PIN to a 6-digit number of your choice.
