Activate Your Account (for Employees)

Activate Using Existing SID

Purpose:  As we transition to ctcLink, the SID numbers we used previously will no longer be needed, but instead, you will be using an Employee ID, which is noted in the system as ctcLink ID.  When you activate your ctcLink Account, this is something important to keep in mind.  Your new ctcLink ID is going to appear and it is something you need to write down/note/memorize for your use.  You won’t be issued a separate document by SBCTC or CBC and having the ctcLink ID available for future use/reference is important when you get to Step 18 of the Activate Your ctcLink Account process.  

Audience:  All Employees

1. Note:  Your new ctcLink ID isn’t accessible in a “lookup” or other retrievable screen and must be formally requested through the Human Resources Office.  Setting and remembering your password is important too!
