Emails are sent from HelpDesk@jalc.edu. Remember to check Junk Mail if you do not see that email (enter “from: jalc“ in the search box).

  1. Click Here to Change Your Password
    You can use the green button if you know your current password, or the red button if you don’t. (This will only work once you’ve registered for classes).
