Reset Your Password to Activate Your Account

Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll receive two emails within 24 to 48 hours from the Office of Admissions and Registrar with your username and temporary password to your account.

Your username will be your first initial, full last name and the last 4 numbers of your BC ID. For example, John Doe with an ID Number ending in 1234 would be jdoe1234.

Your initial temporary password will be it@Brazosport + your pin number. For example, a student with a Pin Number ending in 123456 would be it@Brazosport123456.

To reset your password, you'll need to access Webmail or a student computer on campus and follow the prompts after you login with your username and temporary password.

Once reset, you’ll have access to online resources such as myBC to register for courses, Virtual Campus (D2L) to take online classes, campus computers and wifi, your student email and more.

Make your password unique

Use a different password for each of your important accounts, like your email and online banking.

Reusing passwords for important accounts is risky. If someone gets your password for one account, they could access your email, address, and even your money.

Make your password longer & more memorable

Long passwords are stronger. These tips can help you create longer passwords that are easier to remember. Try using:

• A lyric from a song or poem
• A meaningful quote from a movie or speech
• A passage from a book
• A series of words that are meaningful to you
• An abbreviation: Make a password from the first letter of each word in a sentence

Avoid choosing passwords that could be guessed by:

• People who know you
• People looking at easily accessible info (like your social media profile)

Use letters, numbers & symbols

Passwords with different types of symbols might be more difficult for people to guess, but also might be harder for you to remember. You can set up recovery info at password.brazosport.edu to avoid getting locked out if you forget your password.

Combine different types of characters

Use a mix of alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) and symbols:

• Uppercase (capital) letters. Examples: A, E, R
• Lowercase (small) letters. Examples: a, e, r
• Examples: 2, 6, 7
• Symbols and special characters. Examples: ! @ & *

Recommendations & examples

Replace letters with numbers & symbols: Choose a word or phrase and use numbers and symbols instead of some letters. Examples:

• "Spooky Halloween" becomes "sPo0kyH@ll0w3En"
• "Later gator" becomes "L8rg@+0R"

Abbreviate a sentence: Come up with a sentence and use the first letter of each word. Example:

• "Uncle Peter always ate chocolate-covered everything" becomes "uP@8cCe!"

Don’t use personal info

Avoid creating passwords from info that others might know or could easily find out. Examples:

• Your nickname or initials
• The name of your child or pet
• Important birthdays or years
• The name of your street
• Numbers from your address

Don’t use common words & patterns

Avoid simple words, phrases, and patterns that are easy to guess. Examples:

• Obvious words and phrases like "password" or "letmein"
• Sequences like "abcd" or "1234"
• Keyboard patterns like "qwerty" or "qazwsx"

Any examples in this article, like "sPo0kyH@ll0w3En" or "uP@8cCe!".
