Need help getting started?MCCC Logo with Husky

Through the Husky Portal, you’ll gain access to your Email, Brightspace, and Self-Service accounts—all with a single sign-on, meaning access to all three services with one password, whether you login via the portal or directly to each service.

The video walks you through setting up your Husky Portal, authenticator method for the first time and downloading Microsoft Office 365, which is available for all enrolled students.

E.g.: Name (Student Person), DOB (Jan. 1, 1999), ID# (0123456) will be sp19990123456 as your initial password. If you need assistance with your password, please call the IT Help Desk at 734-384-4234

Microsoft Office 365

All MCCC students have the ability to download Microsoft Office 365 for free as a MCCC student. Once your MCCC email is established go to https://office.com. Students should sign in using their full MCCC email address and password. Once students are signed in, go to the top right hand corner and click "install office", students will have this for free as long as they are a MCCC student.

 

Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) and Multi-Factor Authentication 

Available for all students. Self-Service Password Reset will allow you to reset or change your password on your own, similar to how you would reset your password for banking or other services you may use. Multi-Factor Authentication will be required for all logins if you are not physically on campus.

Upon first login, you will be required to set up at least one authentication method.

NOTE: Once you have at least one authentication method set up on your account, the requirement for both SSPR and MFA will be satisfied.
