Student Password Reset October 25th

Due to cybersecurity requirements we are requiring our students to change their passwords on October 25th. Our system will force these password changes to occur starting at 5am, Wednesday, October 25th. This will allow us to continue to protect all student accounts.

The system will force you to change your password on the morning of the 25th, even if you changed your password recently.You will use MyMACC to change your password.

  • There are two methods to change your password. One is to login to MyMACC on or after the 25th. Once logged in, MyMACC will request a new password to be entered.
  • The second method is to use the Forgot my Password link on MyMACC. This is performed by entering in your student ID as well as your personal recovery email. A link to change your password will be sent to the private email on file.
  • Please verify your personal recovery email by clicking on the Set Recovery Email link on MyMACC prior to Thursday, August 25th.

Your new password needs to be at least 15 characters long. It cannot contain your name and requires three of the four categories listed below:

      • Uppercase Characters
      • Lowercase Characters
      • Numeric Characters
      • Non Alpha-Number Characters ( for example, !, $, #, %)

If you have issues changing your password please contact the Helpdesk at (660) 263-4100 x11555 or by emailinghelpdesk@macc.edu.

Make Winter Count with a 3-credit Hour Wintermester Course.

Registration is now open for the 2023 Wintermester Session. The Winter Mini-mester (Wintermester) is a miniature semester that provides students with an additional opportunity, outside of the traditional academic terms, to expeditiously continue their college degree pursuits. All Wintermester sessions are offered asynchronously online, meaning there will be no on-campus instruction. Content and rigor are comparable to regular semesters and requires intensive study and assignment submissions.

Winter 2023 Course Dates: December 18, 2023 – January 12, 2024

Registration now open! The last day to register is December 18, 2023.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available for those who qualify. Wintermester courses count toward fall enrollment when determining financial aid eligibility. Fall financial aid is disbursed and refunded prior to the start of the Wintermester; this means if a Wintermester course is added after aid has disbursed, the expense must be paid out of pocket.

If financial aid is based on Wintermester course enrollment, and the course is dropped as never attended, the drop could cause serious implications and/or reductions to already disbursed financial aid from the fall semester.

Satisfactory Academic Progress will be determined upon completion of the Wintermester courses.

For questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
