Frequently Asked Questions:

You go to the MyMC Login page and click on the "Claim Your Account" link. Once you're on the Account Claim page, provide your MyMC ID and your M# to continue. Be sure to include the "M" when entering your M#.

No, the "M" is not case sensitive for either the Claim Your Account or the Find Your MyMC ID actions.  

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 an 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. If you are a new employee, your M# can be found on your College employment offer letter.

After you've claimed your account, you can find your M# by signing into MyMC and clicking the "View your information" button in the "M Number, MyMC ID or Email Information" portlet on the Home tab. The M# can also be found on your Montgomery College ID card located above the barcode.

At the completion of the account claim process, you will be directed to the My Profile tab where you can enter your cell phone number and personal e-mail address. After you've already claimed your account, you can always return to the My Profile tab by signing back into your account.
If you click on "Forgot Password" on the MyMC Login page, there are two options for resetting your password if you forget it.

Click on the "Set a new password using your security questions" button and then enter your MyMC ID and answer one of your security questions. After doing that, you'll be able to create a new password. 
After your account has been claimed, you can reset your password by clicking on the "Password Reset" link on the MyMC Login page. There, you will sign on with your MyMC ID and current password. Once signed in, you will be directed to create and confirm a new password.
