Student ID (SID)

Services requiring your Student ID (SID) and Inquiry or Registration Access Code are available 4 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday thru Friday; 24 hour access available Saturday, Sunday and holidays.

Inquiry PIN Number

When you start at Pierce College, you are assigned a default inquiry PIN number: your birth date in the form mmddyy. For security reasons, you should change your inquiry PIN to another four- to six-digit number.

Only authorized users may access services which require an SID and PIN. By logging into these services, you are certifying that the SID and PIN belong to you. Logging in with someone else's information constitutes improper use of this system and is a violation of state and federal law.

Registration Access Code

Your Registration Access Code (RAC) is not the same as your Inquiry PIN, which is used to get your grades, registration time, and other services. You must contact your advisor each quarter for your RAC.
