Important final steps to get started
Check your new MCC student email. Your MCC student email address will be used for all MCC communications, so it is very important that you know you have an MCC student email, that you read it, and use it daily. Learn more about your student email account.
Get your student ID & parking sticker. You may pick up your student ID at the Business Office in the Administration Building on campus, or order your student ID online. To receive your parking sticker, you will need to bring your car’s license plate number to the Business Office in the Administration Building on campus.
Check your class schedule. Log in to MyMCC, click on the Student menu, and find your schedule under Academic Profile.
Access your courses in Brightspace. Log in to Brightspace using your MCC username and password to access your course materials, syllabi, and assignments.
If a class doesn't appear in Brightspace, check with your instructor — some courses go live closer to the start date.
