Email for Students

Free student email is available to all students who attend Merced College. The email account may be accessed from within the Student Portal at https://mc4me.mccd.edu; or go directly to https://www.office.com

The password for your email is the same as the password for your MC portal and Canvas
Note: wait 5 minutes after changing the MC Portal password for it to work on your email.
 
The username for your MC Portal is:  firstname.lastnamexxx  
The username for Canvas is:     firstname.lastnamexxx
The username for your MC email is:    firstname.lastnamexxx@campus.mccd.edu
 
(The username for Canvas, WiFi, Parking, etc. is the same as the username for the MC Portal) 
 
Notes:
Use Chrome browser, it works better (if it does not work, reset the browser).

Hundreds of students ask me to reset their password on www.office.com. In addition, the password for their student email account (user@campus.mccd.edu) is the same as the password for their MC Portal. However, most students have no idea of what that password is, because every time they log unto MC Portal, they do not type it --the browser remembers it and types it for them.

The next question would be: If my browser remembers my password, can I ask my browser to tell me what my password is? YES YOU CAN.

I am not receiving any emails, why?

 
You probably have a Rule deleting all your emails. If your account was compromised, it is very probable there is a Rule planted by the hacker. You need to delete that rule. Click here and go to your student email account: https://outlook.office.com/mail/
 

 What you should do now is to:

  •     Delete the rule the hacker placed in your account.
  •     Move all emails in the deleted folder to your inbox.
  •     Do not surrender your password again to phishing emails to prevent this situation in the future.
