What do I do if I forgot your password?

Why do I see the Coast logo when I log into MyCoast?
If you are a student of multiple campuses in the Coast Community College District (the district is comprised of Orange Coast College, Golden West College, and Coastline College) you may see the Coast logo along with the logos for each campus when you login to MyCoast. This is just because you are affiliated with multiple campuses. If you were affiliated with Coastline only, you would have just a Coastline logo; this is true for the other campuses as well. Those students, faculty, and staff that either work or attend one of the other Coast campuses (or have in the past) will receive the Coast District-Wide logo when they login to MyCoast.
The Coast Community Colleges District (CCCD) has a collection of video tutorials to assist with technology-related subjects.
