When a student is no longer attending classes at the college they will lose access to many services, however some new services will be available to alumni and previous students.
Once a student has graduated they will be contacted by Alumni Relations regarding services Columbia College offers to alumni. They can be reached via email at ccalum@ccis.edu or via phone at 573-875-2586 (toll free at: 800-231-2397 ext 2586).
Past students and alumni will NOT have access to:
1. myPortal - as a former student, one is not allowed access to login to myPortal to view the student dashboard, this extends to services beyond the dashboard such as your courses found in D2L. If you find that you are still able to login, please alert the helpdesk at 573-875-4357.
