What We Help With

  • Password resets
  • Peralta account setup & activation
  • Student email access
  • Peralta portal / Campus Solutions login
  • Canvas access

How it Works

  1. Click the Zoom link or scan the QR code above during support hours; no appointment or ticket needed.
  2. Wait briefly in the lobby. A team member will admit you, usually within a few minutes.
  3. Share your student ID and describe the issue. We'll talk you through the fix via screen share. Admissions & Records staff are part of the support team, so registration, records, and enrollment questions can be answered live. Requests that need official A&R processing are connected directly to the A&R office.
