The MyMC Account Management portal is designed to be intuitive and accessible while maintaining high security standards to protect your account information. Use the guides below to get started and manage your account with confidence:
Your MyMC ID, M#, and College Email Address:
- Your MyMC ID is the login username that you use to login to the MyMC Portal. If you do not remember your MyMC ID, you can use the "Find Your MyMC ID" link on the MyMC login page to retrieve it.
- Your M# is a 9 digit number beginning with the letter "M" followed by 8 numeric characters. The M# is also referred to as the College ID, Student ID, or MC ID. If you are a new student, your M# can be found on your Student Acceptance Letter.

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds a second level of verification to help prevent anyone other than you from logging into designated websites, online services, and select MC applications. This added layer of security will help to decrease account compromises, identity theft, and provide real-time alerts for password protection.
Upon your first access attempt to one of the College's 2FA protected applications you will be prompted to register your mobile device. For more information on how to register and manage your mobile device, visit the Two-Factor Authentication website.
