Brightspace Account Creation

Overview

The article goes over Brightspace account creation timelines and how to determine when your account will be created. 

Getting Started

New Brightspace accounts are created three (3) days before classes start. Once your account has been created, you will be able to sign in using your MCC username and current MCC password. If your class is in the 'Registered But Not Started' status on the Student Planning page and payment has been arranged before the payment deadline, your Brightspace account will be created when the new student data is uploaded three (3) days before classes start. 

New students attempting to log into Brightspace before the account is created (three days prior to the start of classes) will receive an error message regarding their username or password

To check your registration status

  • Go to MyMCC: https://mymcc.mclennan.edu
  • Sign in using your MCC username and password
  • Click on 'Student Planning'
  • Under Step 2, click the 'Go to Plan & Schedule' link
  • On the left side, confirm the status for the course(s) is 'Registered But Not Started'

To determine the payment deadline

  • Go to the MCC events calendar: https://www.mclennan.edu/calendar.html
  • Under the Event Type column on the left, click the 'None' link next to 'Select:' under the available categories
  • Check the box next to the upcoming semester to view dates related to it (including the payment deadline)

Please Note: During "Last Chance Registration" designated by "[Semester] Registration Continues", payment is due immediately after registering.
