DMACC Student Handbook: College Communications

User Name, DMACC ID Number, PIN & Password

Upon acceptance to DMACC, students are mailed their DMACC user name, DMACC ID Number and a temporary PIN (Personal Identification Number). It is important for students to remember this information because it provides them access to college networked computers, the Web Info System, my.dmacc.edu and DMACC coursework via WebCT. For assistance, see www.dmacc.edu/helpdesk.

USER NAME: The User Name, usually the student’s first initial, middle initial and last name (example: djsmith) is used in conjunction with a password to log on to DMACC computers and access webmail. If you have a common name, then a number is usually assigned at the end of the User Name (example: djsmith23).

PASSWORD: Upon admission to DMACC, students receive a temporary password that, used in conjunction with your User Name, can be used to log on to DMACC computers and access DMACC webmail. Students will be required to create an 8-character password when they log in the first time.

DMACC ID NUMBER: DMACC issues students a randomly generated identification number called the DMACC ID Number. This number is confidential and should be protected in the same manner as your Social Security number. Social Security numbers, which must be provided to the College for reporting purposes, will be kept confidential. The DMACC ID Number is referred to as the User ID on the Web Info System.

PIN: The PIN, a randomly assigned number you received in the mail upon admission to DMACC, is used in conjunction with your DMACC ID/User ID Number to access the Web Info System to conduct business at DMACC. When students initially log in they will be required to change from the temporary PIN to a 6-character PIN of their choice. Students should not share this with anyone because doing so may give individuals access to the student’s confidential educational records.
