This ID number is given to you when you registered with BPCC for the current semester. It is also located on the back of your BPCC student ID. Your password is your birth date in the six digit format without any dashes or spaces (Example: January 1, 1980 would be entered as 010180). If you did not receive your CWID number when you registered at the college, you may log in to the BPCC CAVS system using your social security number as your "STUDENT ID:" and your birth date in the example above as your "PIN:" and a message stating "YOUR NEW LOG IN ID:" will display giving your CWID number.
