Steps For First Time Users

WGTC has transitioned to OKTA, a true single sign on system  for Email, Banner and Blackboard.

  1. Register your Okta account for the first time. Your email address was sent to you in your acceptance letter. Please refer to it for logging in.

The available options are to be texted an SMS code, or a phone call. There is also a 3rd option in the form of the Okta Verify app. This gives you the option to use a rotating 6-digit code provided by the app for multifactor authentication, or simply using push notifications.  For detailed step by step information, view the OKTA quickstart guide.  If you still cannot access your account, please submit a help desk ticket.
