All students attending a Maricopa Community College now have access to a new Google-powered email system (Gmail) that will make it easy to receive official college communications. With this new Google-powered system, you will have an email address that is your MEID (the combination of letters and numbers you use to access the student information system)@maricopa.edu.
Effective immediately, this is the way Paradise Valley Community College will send you official college business communications, emergency notifications, financial aid and enrollment documents and information, messages from the Student Information System (SIS) Student Center via the Message Center and other important information. The system is now the official way to receive communications from PVCC and the Maricopa County Community College District. Students are responsible for communications sent to this email address.
Along with your new e-mail account comes access to a powerful set of Google tools, including Google Docs, an online suite of office productivity applications featuring word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. Using these tools, you can collaborate with others on the same documents in real time.
It's easy to connect...
1. Go to www.my.maricopa.edu
Click on GoogleApps@ Maricopa
2. Use your MEID for the address@maricopa.edu
Your password is the same MEID password that you use for your Student Center and Blackboard!
