MyCoast
Login to MyCoast, our online portal to your personal Coastline College resources. MyCoast is a district-wide enterprise. So, if you are a student, instructor or employee at Orange Coast College, or Golden West College (in addition to your role at Coastline) you will be able to access those resources in MyCoast as well.
MyCoast is customizable and unique to each user. Factors that make MyCoast unique to you are which schools in the Coast Community College District (CCCD) you engage with as well as your role at each campus.
For instance, a student who attends courses just at Coastline will not see any information pertaining to faculty, staff, or the other campuses in the district, but will be able to access his/her/their Coastline information, including grades, financial aid, etc. However, a faculty member who teaches both at Coastline and GWC will be able to view his/her/their faculty resources for both campuses.
You can log into MyCoast from any computer with internet connection and a web browser (Internet Explorer/Firefox). MyCoast works on PC and Mac computers.
- Your MyCoast User Name: Refer to your Welcome Letter
- Password: your temporary password will be in the following 12 digit format: Upper case, first letter of first name, lower case, first letter of last name, your 6 digit date of birth, and CCCD. Ex: John Smith, March 28, 1998. The password would be Js032898CCCD
- You will be asked to create a new password once you first login.
In order to better protect your information and enhance the security of our systems, when you log in to most college systems (e.g., MyCoast Portal, Canvas) from off-campus, you will be prompted to enter an additional 8-digit code. This code will be sent to your personal email each time you log in. This code will be emailed only to the personal email address you register when you first log in to those systems. Without a personal [non-school] email to receive the 8-digit code, you will not be able to log in.
After you successfully log in using the second factor “code” received via email, you will have the option to change your second factor authentication mechanism to one of the following options.
- Google Authenticator smartphone application - free from the Apple AppStore or Google Play Store [recommended]
- SMS Text Message - generally included in your mobile phone plan
- Yubikey Security Token - you will need to purchase (but this does not work for mobile devices)
- Continue to use your personal email - free (least secure)
If you have any questions or problems, please contact the Help Desk at (714) 438-8188.
A Google Gmail account will be provided to you.
- Your email address is (your username@student.cccd.edu
- This is the primary means of communication with you as a Coastline student.
- Access to your Gmail account is available through MyCoast Portal or can be accessed directly at <https://gmail.cccd.edu>

IT Service Desk:
- phone: (714) 438-8111
- email: itservicedesk@cccd.edu
- What is my username and password?
- Your MyCoast username and password will be sent to you two ways:
- Email: Your login information will be sent to the email address you provided for Admissions and Records at the time of registration.
- "Standard" Mail: Your login information will also be mailed to you at the address you provided for Admissions and Records at the time of registration.
- Why do I see the Coast district logo when I log on to MyCoast?
- The Coast Community College District (CCCD) is comprised of Orange Coast College, Golden West College, and Coastline College. If you are a student of multiple campuses in the CCCD, you may see the Coast district logo along with logos for each campus when you login to MyCoast. If you are - and were - affiliated with Coastline only, you would have just the Coastline logo. Students, faculty, and staff that work or attend multiple CCCD campuses (or have in the past) will see the Coast district logo when logging in to MyCoast.
- What is MyCCC?
- MyCoast was formerly called MyCCC. If you see MyCCC connected to Coastline or the Coast district, it is the same as MyCoast.
