from virtually anywhere in the world within Cougar Trail hours.

- System Security
- All transactions have an electronic signature. You are solely responsible for any
transaction made through your Cougar Trail account. Unauthorized access to Cougar Trail on
the Web or tampering with other students’ academic records is a
violation of federal and state law, and will subject the offender to
severe disciplinary action.
Please report any suspected tampering to the Registrar’s Office
immediately.

- The first time you log in, your CofC ID will be your Social Security
Number. Once logged in, your new CofC ID will be displayed.
- Your PIN the first time you log in will be your 6-digit birthdate
(MMDDYY). For example, if your birthdate is July 9, 1978, your initial
login pin number would be 070978. You will be immediately prompted to
change your PIN to a 6-digit number other than your birthdate. You will then be required to log back
in with your new PIN.
- For first time users, make sure to set up your PIN Question and Answer.
This option allows you to reset your PIN when you’ve forgotten it by
correctly answering the PIN Question.
