Student Login Information

If you are a student, you should initially log in through your school's account.

If you are unsure whether your school is registered as an AKCIS site, ask a teacher or school counselor. If they are not a registered AKCIS site, contact akcis@alaska.gov so AKCIS staff can discuss the benefits of becoming a registered AKCIS site with your school’s staff.

  • If you are logged in through the correct school, your teachers and counselors can post important messages and reminders to your Portfolio.
  • You can have access to class, and grade appropriate, Career Plans uploaded by your teachers. This helps you plan and complete college and career preparation on time.
  • Your school administrators can help you if you forget your username or password.

  • After you log in to AKCIS for the first time under your school's account, you should immediately create a Portfolio. View the Portfolio QuickStart for step by step instructions.
  • When you create your own Portfolio, you will create a personal username and password. In the future, you should always use this new username and password to directly log into your AKCIS Portfolio.
  • A Portfolio account allows you to save School and Career information, Self-Survey results, courses, resume information, and more.

  • If your school district uses Clever or ClassLink for single sign-on to application, search “AKCIS” in your App Gallery or LaunchPad.
  • Contact your school and ask a teacher or staff member to give you the username and password for your school's AKCIS account. Log in using the username and password provided to you.

  • If you are not enrolled in a school with an active AKCIS account, or if you are working with another agency for career and education planning assistance, you can still become an AKCIS user. Contact the AKCIS Help Desk at AKCIS@alaska.gov for access to the Alaska High School account.

  • Easy! Just transfer your portfolio to your new school’s account, or the account for your local job center or other community organization.
  • Contact the AKCIS Help Desk at AKCIS@alaska.gov for assistance transferring your Portfolio.

AKCIS.org connects students with online Personal Learning & Career Planning (PLCP) resources. Students continue to develop their PLCPs over the years helping them become self-advocates who know the answers to Who am I?, Where am I going?, and How do I get there? With an AKCIS Parent Account you can get involved in your student’s postsecondary planning all along the way.


Parents/guardians can contact their student’s school AKCIS Site Administrators or Staff Account holders to have an AKCIS Parent Account created for each of their students.

The student is the only person who is able to add, change, or remove any entries and reflections in the student’s AKCIS Portfolio.

AKCIS Parent Account holders can view their student’s Self-Survey results; Favorited items such as Schools, Programs of Study, Scholarships, Career Clusters, and Careers of interest; and Resume and Cover Letter entries.

Students are thinking of what Career(s) they want in elementary school. AKCIS Jr. 360 is available for 3rd through 8th grade to give students realistic, Alaska examples of expenses and Careers, including wages and employment and outlook forecasting over the next 10 years.

Each of the AKCIS Site Types flows into the next – AKCIS Jr (3rd – 8th grades), AKCIS High School (9th-12th), AKCIS Postsecondary, and AKCIS Workforce Development for Job Seekers. Your student can continue to build their Personal Learning & Career Plan (PLCP) in AKCIS 360 for years to come.

If you are unsure whether your student’s school is registered as an AKCIS site, ask a teacher or school counselor. If they are not a registered AKCIS site, contact AKCIS@alaska.gov so AKCIS staff can discuss the benefits of becoming a registered AKCIS site with your student’s school staff.
