For Applicants

If you are having problems logging WebAdvisor, you can reset your password. To reset your password, do the following:

1. Go to www.coastal.edu/search/password and select the appropriate type of user that represents your user type.
2. Enter the last 4 digits of your SSN (if you are an international student, enter the last four digits of the International Student Number that was given to you in your letter of acceptance).
3. Enter your birthdate (mm/dd/yy format), Coastal username, and Coastal ID number.
4. You will be prompted to answer the security question you created when you set up your account.
