Student Support Center Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General

iconHow do I access my free TMCC email account?

To access your free TMCC student email account, please visit email.tmcc.edu.

iconHow do I access my online classes?

Online classes are accessed via MyTMCC. Once logged in, click on the WebCollege Access link located in the Other Resources box.

iconHow do I change my TMCC username?

Your name must first be officially changed with Admissions and Records before you can change your username. If you have already done so, contact WebCollege. Be aware that when you change your username, your original student email account will be deleted and replaced with a new account. Please forward or save any emails before changing your username.

iconHow do I get a student ID card?

You can obtain your student identification card at the ID station in RDMT 315. You will need a government issued form of identification, such as a driver's license or passport. You will also need to be enrolled in at least one credit hour for the current semester. ID cards will be issued on the Saturday of the week before classes begin and may be issued til the last day of the semester. Each semester you will be issued a new sticker for the back of your ID card.

Your first student ID card is free of charge, but a $5 charge must be paid to replace a damaged or lost ID card. Pay at the controller's office and bring your receipt to the ID station in RDMT 315 to receive your replacement ID card.

MyTMCC

iconHow do new students obtain their MyTMCC username and password?

New students will be mailed (either USPS or email) their login information based on the communication preference they indicate on their application for admission. Email admit letters go out at 5 p.m. on the same day they are processed.

iconHow was the new Peoplesoft/iNtegrate system funded?

Funding for this project was made possible through the support of the students of NSHE, the Board of Regents and the Nevada Legislature years ago.

iconI can't log in to the MyTMCC student portal. What should I do?

First, verify that you are entering the correct username and password.

Next, be sure you are using the correct MyTMCC student portal. If you don't know your username and/or password, you may retrieve it using the online self-service tools.

If you are still experiencing difficulty, contact the Student Support Center.

iconI put classes in MyTMCC's shopping cart. How do I complete the registration process?

To complete your registration:

  1. Log in to MyTMCC
  2. Select the 'Student Center' link
  3. Select your shopping cart
  4. Select the classes you wish to enroll in by checking the box next to the class
  5. Click the 'Enroll' button
  6. Click the 'Finish Enrolling' button to complete the process
  7. Remove classes that you are not planning to enroll in using the delete button

iconI received a "Campus Portal" error message page. What do I do?

You should clear your web browser's cookies and cache (temporary internet files) and refresh MyTMCC.

iconSince MyTMCC is used by all NSHE institutions, does this mean that courses I took at other institutions will show up on my record? Will it eliminate the need for me to get transcripts?

No. MyTMCC will not replace each institution's transcript request process.

This system allows syncing of information between institutions and the electronic delivery of transcripts from one institution to another, but it is still a student-initiated decision to have a transcript sent from one institution to another. Most schools will require that you arrange to have all previous coursework sent to the most recent institution you are attending.

iconWhat is going to happen to the "T" number?

The use of the legacy student ID, "T" number, has been phased out during the transition to the new MyTMCC/PeopleSoft system. TMCC now uses a ten-digit NSHE ID number instead of the "T" number.

iconWhat is MyTMCC?

The "MyTMCC" student portal is a "one-stop" gateway for accessing many college applications and tools.

Through the portal, you have access to the following:

  • 24/7 Access
  • An informative Checklist of "to do" items
  • Readily available access to all communications from the college
  • Shopping cart style registration convenience
  • Advanced planning tools
  • Much more...

To access MyTMCC, visit my.tmcc.edu.

iconWhen can I register for classes?

The specific date you are allowed to register is based on your class standing. Log in to MyTMCC and click on the "Student Center" to view your enrollment date. You may register any time on or after that date.
