Hello Shakiba,
The Forgot Password functionality requires you to know the following: Username and the Answer to a Security Question. Your ctcLink credentials can be used to log in to the OAAP if you are already a student with a ctcLink ID. Have a great day, Shakiba! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer

I remember my credentials, but do not remember the answer to my security question. because of this I cannot log in, and cannot find a way to reset the answer or log on another way. How can I log in?
Tanjagay Martin
Hello Abigail, Thank you so much for your question. If you have a ctcLink ID and you've activated your ctcLink account, you can log in with your ctcLink credentials. Don't hesitate to contact the college directly if you do not remember your ctcLink account information. Have a wonderful day, Abigail. ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Functional Trainer

Hello Essence, I appreciate your comment, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. If the steps in this document fail to provide your username, you can log in with your ctcLink credentials. However, if you contact your college's student helpdesk, they should be able to assist you. I am unaware of which school you attend, but this list of ctcLink Help resources should provide you with the contact information to get started. Thanks again! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
