How do I login as a student if I am on my PTC-managed staff computer?

For PTC faculty/staff who are also students

When accessing your student account from their PTC-managed laptops, you MUST use an Incognito window. Otherwise, by virtue of them being logged in, it will always push them to their staff account. How do you start an Incognito (Private) browser window?

To access Brightspace as a student:

  1. start an Incognito window
  2. navigate to the Brightspace login page using a bookmark or directly at https://learn.ptcollege.edu/ 
  3. click on the Student & Staff login button
  4. type in your Student Username (including @students.ptcollege.edu) and Student Password
    • NOTE: Because you are in an Incognito window, these credentials DO NOT get saved. You will need to enter every time!

To access your Student email:

  1. go to Current Student Logins page to access student email from:
    1. blue D2L homepage navbar: PTC Resources
    2. gray course navbar: Learner Resources
  2. scroll down to the Student email item (5th item in list)
  3. type in your Student Username (including @students.ptcollege.edu) and Student Password
    • NOTE: Because you are in an Incognito window, these credentials DO NOT get saved. You will need to enter every time!
