MyVC is Valencia College’s online learning community that links students, faculty and staff to one another and to powerful learning resources such as LifeMap, online registration, grades, degree audits, financial aid, and academic records.
MyVC Password/Personal Identification Number (PIN)
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a unique password that allows you to electronically access your student records and to register for classes. When you establish your MyVC account, you will be asked to select an alpha-numeric password that will serve as your PIN each time you log in. By creating a unique PIN, you will help provide increased security for your student records. It is important that you do not forget your PIN since you will be required to enter it every time you log in to MyVC. If you do forget your PIN, you should follow the directions on the MyVC home page to re-set your PIN. Your PIN should be kept secure; you should not share it with anyone.
MyVC and Student Email Accounts
As an admitted Valencia College student, you will be assigned an email account through MyVC; this will be the primary and official form of communication from Valencia College to you. You should not forward your MyVC email as many internet service providers filter MyVC e-mail as SPAM, and you may not receive all college communications. Official Valencia Colleges notices and helpful information will be provided to you through your MyVC email, on your individual course sites, and throughout MyVC as general information. MyVC allows access to: your student records; register for courses; change your schedule and withdraw from courses; review your account and pay fees; view financial aid information; view your grades; obtain degree audits and unofficial transcripts; request official transcripts; and update your address. Also, you can develop your career and education plans in MyVC.
Valencia College will use your MyVC e-mail to notify you of changes in your accounts, in your courses, and in college policies and procedures. To communicate in a more expedient manner, Valencia uses MyVC email as the primary means of notifying students of important college business and information dealing with registration, deadlines, financial assistance, scholarships, tuition and fees, etc. Communications sent to a student’s MyVC email address are official notices.
You are responsible for the information and notices that are sent to you via your assigned Valencia College email. To avoid missing important communications from Valencia College, it is suggested that you set your Web browser to MyVC and check your account every day for official announcements and notifications.
