Student Handbook

Email and Office 365

All curriculum students are provided with a Microsoft 365 email account. Your Microsoft 365 email account is the official communication channel, and it's essential to keep informed by reading Mitchell Community College- related emails sent to this address. Your student email address follows the format: username@students.mitchellcc.edu. Another advantage of being a student at Mitchell Community College is the access to Microsoft Office for free, as long as you maintain active student status. To learn how to obtain your complimentary copy of Microsoft Office, you can either scan the QR code or visit our support portal.

NOTE: The use of email will be consistent with other Mitchell Community College policies. The College strictly forbids unlawful, unsolicited commercial advertising, mass mailings, harassment, spam or hoaxes, and political propaganda by students.
