Creating Your MyMCC Account

Below there are also instructions for students who already have an MCC email account but have forgotten their username and/or password. After creating the account, students will appear in their instructor's electronic roster.

Email is sent to your Google Apps account (YourMEID@Maricopa.edu). Some students may aleady have a personal email account they prefer to use, so the document also includes instructions on how to forward your Google Apps email to your preferred email account.

FERPA Note:
Before sending a message, students must be sure they are using their MCC email account. Based on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) that protects student privacy, grades and personal information can only be released to the student; therefore, students must use their personal MCC email account when communicating with their instructors or other college personnel to assure information being released is going directly to the student.
