Getting Started

We are pleased that you have enrolled in one or more classes with us. The following steps provide guidance on accessing your required orientation and class (es), along with valuable information on EMCC’s student access to campus technology and learning support services. All of this can be done from the My.Maricopa.edu web site.

Go to the student-center web site to set up your required Maricopa Enterprise ID (MEID) and password.

First time users will need to obtain an MEID.

You will use your MEID and password to access My.Maricopa.edu and Blackboard, the course management system where your orientation and course work is located. If you encounter any problems, need to use a computer, or have any technical questions, please call or visit our excellent staff at the Information Commons.
