Getting on to MyCampus portal

Technology is great. Just at work and school alone, it helps me have an easier day. Email, Angel, MyCampus portal, and EX web are essential to have a productive day. Here is some information to help you out with getting better acquainted with your Email, Angel, and MyCampus portal:

Your Main User Name:

Last Name + First Initial + Middle Initial + Last 4 digits of your Student ID

For example, student "John R. Williams" with a Student ID of "123456" would have the following Username: WILLIAMSJR3456. NOTE: If your last name is longer than 10 characters, it will be truncated to 10 characters in the Username.

Student email addresses are formatted as follows: username@mccmail.mohave.edu (e.g., the student in the example above would use williamsjr3456@mccmail.mohave.edu for his email address).

Passwords: Your default password will reflect the following format: mCC090265, where m is not capitalized, CC is capitalized, 09 is the most recent year of enrollment at the college, 02 is your birth month in 2-digit format, and 65 is your birth year in 2-digit format. You will need to change your password when you first log into each system, to a unique password of your choosing.

If you need help changing your password, contact the Help Desk at 866-749-8239 for assistance.
