How do I log into the Coast Guard Academy application portal?

I'm trying to start the application process for the Coast Guard Academy, but I'm not sure how to access their application portal. Can anyone explain how the login process works?

Absolutely, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy uses a platform called "Bear's Den" to manage their application process. Here's a simplified guide on how you can access it:

1. Go to the official Coast Guard Academy website.

2. Click on the 'Admissions' tab at the top of the page.

3. On the Admissions drop-down menu, click on 'Apply.'

4. Scroll down to find a section titled, 'Application Portal,' which should have a link to the Bear's Den portal.

5. Clicking this link will redirect you to the Bear's Den login page.

6. If it's your first time here, you'll need to set up a new account. Click on "create an account" and fill out the required information to create your login credentials.

7. Once your account is setup, you will be able to log back in with these credentials at any given time to continue your application process.

Keep in mind, it's important to remember your login information. This portal will be a central area of communication about your application's status, any additional documentation you may need to submit, etc.

Also, remember to keep checking your emails as well since the Coast Guard Academy will send notifications and updates there too. Good luck with your application process!
