On the next page, click on "reset my password". A screen comes up asking for you to enter your Last Name and your 7 digit student number leading with zeros, then click "submit". The next screen says "send my temporary password to this e-mail address". Click on the down arrow to see if it is your CURRENT e-mail address.

If there is no e-mail address listed there, OR it is the wrong e-mail address, you will have to go to the Admissions Department and have them reset our password, or email them at cncconnect@cnc.bc.ca
 
Q: Why do I get a "Page Not Found" error when I try to access CNC Connect?
A: www.cnc.bc.ca/cncconnect can be used to check your grades, search for classes, view your history and much more. It operates on port 3443, which can sometimes be blocked by some businesses. If you are having trouble accessing CNC Connect from your workplace try using your home computer, a public computer, or ask your Network Administrator to allow traffic on port 3443.
 
Q: What if my cncconnect password has been reset but I still can not get into cncconnect?
A: Some areas you can check are "clear cache" and check for "spyware" on your computer. Also check your "Internet Settings" as you might have inadvertently had your password saved on your computer and this will not allow any password changes to override this. To check your internet settings, go to the Internet Settings page and follow the instructions there.

A: Please see the Password page for all username and password related questions.
