Alumni Employment Reporting on OPT/STEM OPT

Last updated on Jan 21, 2025

Alumni Access to CCA Workday Account

To submit required employment information and documentation to fulfill requirements to maintain F1 status on OPT and STEM OPT - you must access your CCA Workday Account. CCA Alumni retain access to the Workday system and student records after degree completion.

Log into Workday.cca.edu using your CCA account credentials. While your CCA email address may or may not be active as an alum, you do have Workday access. Your CCA user name from your CCA email address (the part before @cca.edu) is your log in credential for Workday access. To reset your CCA credential password, visit here.
