OASIS Use Authorization
By logging on to these student service applications, you are certifying that the information you both enter and access belongs to you, the student. Logging in with someone else's information constitutes improper use of this system and is a violation of state and federal privacy laws. For additional information, please read Whatcom's Privacy Notice.

Browser Requirements & Privacy
To ensure the privacy of your personal information, secure access to the web services on OASIS is required. You must be using a browser/platform that supports 128-bit encryption (cipher strength) preferably Internet Explorer (required to pay online & update address, phone and email information) or Netscape Navigator. Some services require that cookies and Java Script be enabled. Note: If you are using a pop-up blocker, you must disable it to use many of the online resources.

When you access your student information on OASIS, the web browser is storing information. To protect the confidentiality of your records, you must exit the browser when you are finished. Exiting will clear this information so the next person using the computer will not have access to it.

Confidentiality/Security of Your Student Records
You will need your student identification number (SID) and personal identification number (PIN) to access most of the online services. Your SID is a nine-digit number which identifies your student record and is assigned at the time you apply for admission. Your PIN is a temporary number, also assigned at the time you apply. You are notified of these assigned numbers in the enrollment packet you receive in the mail.

Change your PIN as soon as possible for greater security. We recommend you change your PIN every 6 months or anytime you feel security has been compromised. Updating your PIN for online registration and wait list inquiry is an overnight process. Continue to use your old PIN for these services until the following day.
