Single Sign On  Login & Password Information

CGTC uses a Single Sign On (SSO) process, powered by Okta, for students to access technology resources including Titan Experience, Blackboard, Office 365, and other resources. To use Single Sign On, you must set up multi-factor authentication (MFA). It is recommended that you set up multiple MFA options in case you lose access to your original MFA source.
