Student Account Creation

Your student account gives you access to class registration, your student portal (myMadisonCollege) and more. Submitting an admissions application creates your student account, but you still must activate it if you are a returning student. If you are a new student, you will activate and create your account through the application process. Financial aid applications do not create student accounts.

Create/activate your student account now to begin exploring its many uses. 

Once you finish the account creation process, you have the following credentials:

  • Student ID number. A seven-digit number that uniquely identifies you in our database. This number is printed on your student ID card. (OneCard).
  • Username. Based on your name, this is required when logging into college systems and resources.
  • Password. This is also required when logging into college systems and resources. You can change your password at any time.
  • Challenge question. A safeguard in case you forget your username or password.

According to the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974" (FERPA), name is considered to be directory information. Therefore, it may be released to anyone making an inquiry. Madison College's email system provides a directory containing student name and account username. However, you have the right to request that your directory information not be disclosed. You can make this request online in your myMadisonCollege Classic Portal under the Personal Information section. You may also visit Enrollment Services to make this request. You must present a picture ID at the time of your request. Madison College will not assume responsibility for disclosure or distribution of your account username.

If you do not want to create your account online, you can have Enrollment Services create it for you. Simply complete the New Student Account Creation Form (PDF, 218KB) and bring it with a photo ID to the Truax Enrollment Services office or any regional or metro campus office.
