1st Logon - Activate your MPC account by changing your password
Each new user must logon to a computer here on campus the first time. The system will require each new user to change their password on the first logon. Once the password has been changed students can access their email, MySite, MyMPC and Class Sites from any computer whether on or off campus. Computers are available in the Library and other student computer labs around campus.
