Creating Your Bethel Community Account

All new Bethel students will need to create their Bethel Community Account (BCA) upon being registered for their courses. Students will be prompted to create their BCA when they log into Bethel’s website after being registered. Below are detailed instructions on how to create your BCA. If there are any issues or questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@bethel.edu or (651) 638-6500.

1. When the time comes to activate your student account, users will receive a prompt to create their account upon logging into My.Bethel.edu:
   
   
   
   
2. When users click on that link, they will be directed to the Identity & Access Management site where they will enter their Applicant credentials (the non-Bethel email and password that was used to create the application)
   
   
   
   
3. Once entered correctly, the system will notify you that the activation was successful. Read this prompt carefully before clicking 'Continue'. Users should make a note of this new account username as that will be their permanent Bethel username going forward. After pressing 'Continue', users will set a new password then will be logged out
   
   
   
   
4. Once users log into my.bethel.edu again, they will be prompted with "It's time to, Switch to account abc12345". Users should make a note of this new account username as that will be their permanent Bethel username going forward. Clicking on that link will bring users to a new login screen where they will enter the username found on that page as well as the new password they set in step 3
