Help Signing into the Admissions Portal

If you applied to Southern CT State University through Common App, you must follow the instructions emailed to you about the Admissions Portal. Using the link provided to you in the email will ensure that your application is linked to your account. If you have already created an account for the Admission Portal but are having problems signing then you should perform a password reset. The username is the personal email address you used when signing up for the system. Once you initiate a password reset, you will receive an email explaining how to complete the process. You must remember to check your junk or spam folders for the email. If you need assistance, please contact Admissions.

KNOWN PROBLEM: The password reset email does not let me reset my password.
Some email providers scan links in your emails for security purposes or to provide a preview of the page from your mailbox. When the scan happens, the password reset link expires so you are never taken to the page that would allow you to reset your password. If this happens then you should disable the Preview Links feature on your personal email account. Instructions on how to disable the Preview Links feature in Outlook can be found in the Knowledge Base article provided by SalesForce.
