Access Student Email

Overview

MCC student email accounts are intended for school-related communication while you are an active student. Your account will be created for you, and you do not need to create a student email account. Your student email account is provided for academic use and is managed by the college. We strongly recommend that you do not use this email address to sign up for personal services (such as Google Photos, YouTube, banking, social media, or subscriptions). Once you have not taken a class in over 365 days, you will lose access to your student email account and any personal accounts linked to it may become difficult or impossible to recover (see the "Termination of Email Access" section below for more information).

Getting Started

Access to Email

Your student email account will be created within two (2) hours of receiving your Acceptance Letter from McLennan Community College (MCC).

  • Although your account will be created within 2 hours, trying to access within this 2 hour window may result in an error stating: your account does not exist. If you receive this error, please wait 2 hours before retrying.
  •  If you set your MCC password before your student email account was created, you may need to reset your password if you are unable to log in after the 2 hour window has passed. The reset ensures your password is properly synced to your new email account.

Logging into your Student Email

  • Go to Student Email or to www.mclennan.edu > I am a > Current Student. Click on Student Email. You can also log into gmail.com with your student email address. 
    • If you are redirected to a personal Gmail account, please click the button to switch or add account before going to the next step. 
  • Your login username will be your email address: the first initials of your first name and last name, your 7-digit MCC ID number followed by @students.mclennan.edu.
  • You will use the password you created for MyMCC or Brightspace.
    • Need to reset your password? Visit Forgot Password for instructions on how to reset your MCC password.

Policy

  • Upon leaving MCC, be sure to update any accounts, associated with or linked to your student email, with your personal email address.
