Your Lobo Account
MPC is proud to provide students with a Lobo Account (network account and official MPC email address) and access to many online tools & resources through Lobo Apps (featuring Google Apps for Education)! All official MPC communications will be conducted through your assigned MPC Student Email Account, and other Google Apps may be used for classes you take at MPC.
Your account will automatically be created after applying for MPC through CCCApply. You will receive an email within 1 hour of applying with information on how to access your Lobo Account and set your password.

Setting your Lobo Account Password
After applying, you will receive an email from MPC within an hour with the subject: 'Your MPC Account has been created.' This email will have your Student ID Number, your Username, and your Temporary Password.
To Change your Password:
- Go to https://sso.mpc.edu or click on the Lobo Apps button at the top of the MPC Website
- Enter your username and temporary password
- Click 'Log In'
- You will be prompted to change your password
- Your new password must be at least 8 characters and you cannot reuse the 3 previous passwords
- Your password has been changed and you can sign in
*Special Note: Users logging in from mobile devices should be aware of case sensitivity in passwords. Many devices default to capitalizing the first character of an entry, this could create a failed login if passwords do not match.
Didn't receive an email with your temporary password? Contact Admissions & Records.
Using Lobo Apps
Once you have updated your password you will be taken to the Lobo Apps dashboard—a launch page to many of the applications used and supported by MPC. One of the tiles there is MyMPC (the student portal), where you can Register for Classes!
At the top of the page you will be prompted to set a security question and enroll in Account Recovery (so you can reset your password on your own, if you ever forget it.) We suggest you go ahead and do these 2 things the first time you log in so this prompt on this page goes away.
Setting a Security Question
- Click on the active link next to the prompt to set your security question. This brings you to a new webpage where you can create your own question and save your answer. Remember to choose a question that has a specific answer and will be easy for you to remember (an example is provided below.)
- Click the "Save" button to save your question and answer in the system, you will see a green check on this page confirming you have completed this step when you are done.
Enrolling in Account Recovery
After you have set your security question don't forget to enroll in account recovery. Account Recovery allows you to reset your password, if you have forgotten it, without having to ask for assistance from IT.
- Click on the active link next to the prompt to enroll in account recovery. This brings you to a new webpage where you will enter a phone number where you can receive text messages.
- Enter your cell phone number and click the button to "validate" your number.
- Very quickly you should receive a text message on your cell phone with a confirmation code.
- Open the text message to retrieve the confirmation code you received and enter that Clear Login confirmation code in the field provided on this confirmation page.
- Once your number has been validated you will be taken a confirmation page that will display your current account recovery phone number and a green check verifying this step has been completed.
Accessing your New Email Account!
Once you have completed the steps above (activating your network account, setting your security question and enrolling in account recovery) you can return to the Lobo Apps dashboard to access your MPC tools, websites and applications.
- Click the dot grid to return to the main dashboard page
