To start, you must have your MCC student ID number, which you will receive by
email once you complete your MCC admissions application. If you already have one, that is even better! You will also need a fast internet connection, speakers/microphone and a webcam on a desktop computer or laptop. Tablets are not supported. No additional software is required. However, your computer must meet the technical requirements for testing (see below).
Ensure your computer is ready by running the following checks:
