Students -- Getting Started with CougarTrail

Cougar Trail is the name given to the College’s web services for an individual to access his/her student information using any web browser. Students use CougarTrail to register for classes, check grades, pay bills, set their e-mail password, and conduct other College business.

Login

To login for the first time, use your social security number for the Student ID. Use 6-digit birth date — MMDDYY — as the initial PIN. Upon logging in, you will be given your CofC ID number. In the future, use this number in lieu of your Social Security Number to log on to CougarTrail. Additionally, the PIN must immediately be changed to a new 6-digit PIN. Remember this number! After three unsuccessful login attempts, the system will lock you out. It will allow you a total of 3 more login attempts after an hour has elapsed. If the PIN is lost or forgotten, send an e-mail to CTHelp_Stu@cofc.edu from your College of Charleston e-mail account to have it reset.
