Students will log in through the OKTA dashboard to access Banner, Blackboard, Office 365, or other student applications. Gwinnett Tech uses single sign-on which means that one single login gives you access to all your college accounts. You do not need to log in separately into each account.

You need to know your Gwinnett Tech student email which follows this format: FLLLLLLxxxx@student.gwinnetttech.edu. (first initial, up to 6 characters in last name, last 4 of student ID number)
Your initial password is gtc and your birthday: gtcmmddyy

Students who need help signing in should contact the Student IT Help Desk Please call 678-226-6407 or email StuHelpDesk@GwinnettTech.edu.

On the login screen, type in your full GTC email address, password and then follow the instructions.

 

If it's your first time logging into Blackboaord, you'll see a welcome screen, click "close." You will only see this screen the very first time you log in.
