ATTN: MEMBERS

As many of you know MCC is migrating to a new e-mail/webadvisor system with new passwords over the Holiday Break.  If you have not done so please read the following important message from the MCC Service Desk.  If you have not done so please activate your current college e-mail.  With the new system in place it will be more important for your to do so.  Also please advise your colleagues to do the same.  As many of you know there can be late changes to assignments before the start of the Winter Term and we don't want any members to fall through the cracks for lack of proper preparation.
