    If you’re having trouble logging in: 

    1. Did you receive your PIN? Check your email (including spam/junk folders) for your temporary PIN. 
    2. Don’t remember your password? Use the “Forgot Password” option to reset your login. 
  • Can I apply if I don’t have an email address?

    You will need an email address to create an account and complete the application. If you don’t have one, you can set up a free email account with providers like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook before applying. 

    After you are admitted, EAC will provide you with a student email account through Outlook. This email will be used for important college communications, so be sure to check it regularly! 

  • Can I apply if I’m not a U.S. citizen?

    Yes! EAC welcomes all students. Find more information regarding International Admissions here: International Students

    Some programs and financial aid options may have additional requirements for non-U.S. citizens. If you have questions, contact Admissions & Registration at (928) 428-8270. 

  • I’ve been admitted to EAC but forgot my username/password. How can I recover it?

    Use the “Forgot Password” option on the MyEAC Login Page to reset your password. If you forgot your username, check your email for your original MyEAC account setup confirmation. Please visit MyEAC Help Page for additional information.

Programs
  • What program should I select if I’m unsure or undecided?

    Not sure which degree or certificate to choose? You’re not alone! Many students explore different options before deciding on a major. At EAC, we encourage you to start with our Program Page to help you identify programs that match your interests and career goals. 

    Explore your Program Options here. 

    Still need help? Our academic advisors are here to guide you! Call (928) 428-8425 to schedule an appointment. 

  • What is the difference between a certificate and an associate degree?

    An associate degree typically requires 60+ credits and is designed to prepare students for either continued education (such as transferring to a bachelor’s degree program) or entering the workforce with a broader academic foundation. 

    A certificate program is generally shorter and focuses on specific technical or career skills for a particular field. Certificates are great for students looking to gain specialized knowledge quickly. 

    Every program is different, so we encourage you to explore degrees and certificates on our website. Each program page provides details on program length, career paths, and course plans. 

    Explore programs here: EAC Programs Page 

  • What fully online programs do you offer?

    EAC offers a variety of fully online certificates and degrees in fields like business, administration of justice, and more. To explore available online programs, visit our Online Learning page:

  • Can I change my program later?

    Yes! You can update your program anytime through My.EAC.edu. However, we highly recommend meeting with an academic advisor before making any changes. Updating your program may impact your financial aid, veteran benefits, or graduation timeline. 

    If you have questions or need assistance, our Academic Advising team is here to help!

  • Do I need to be a full-time student?

    You do not need to be a full-time student to attend Eastern Arizona College. The academic advising team can work with you to create an academic plan that makes sense for you.
