Bigfoot Student Email

Bigfoot Student Email

The information provided on your application for admission is used to create a Microsoft Office 365 account.
This provides you with a student e-mail address:

Example: username@bigfoot.spokane.edu

Your username is a combination of your First Name, Last Name Initial, and the last four digits of your ctcLink ID number.

Example

First name: Jane
Last name initial: D
Last four digits of ctcLink ID number: 6789
With that information her email address would be JaneD6789@bigfoot.spokane.edu

Note: If your first name is hyphenated or has spaces in it, these will be removed. Ex: Rae-Ann will become RaeAnn; Mary Beth will become MaryBeth. The system will use the name you applied to school with. Thus, if you applied to the school as Raymond, but are usually called Ray, your account will use Raymond for your name.
