Coast Mountain College Students may find it helpful to download apps like: Outlook (access your college e-mail address), Pulse (access Brightspace account and receive reminders), mobile banking apps and many more. However, if you are an international student or have recently moved to Canada, you may encounter problems downloading apps that are not available for the region your phone or device's store is set to.
