Why do I need a new email account?
The new account is necessary to support the rollout of the Anthology Student Portal and its related services.
What will my new email address be?
Your new email address will follow this format: firstname.lastname@mainecc.edu. If another student shares your first and last name, a number will be added to differentiate your email addresses.
What is the Anthology Student Portal?

The Anthology Student Portal is your central hub for accessing information and services within the Maine Community College System. It offers a user-friendly platform to view academic details, financial aid information, career services, and communication tools for connecting with staff and advisors.

Key features of the portal include:

  • Campus Info: Access essential campus resources and updates.
  • My Academics: Stay on top of your coursework, grades, and academic progress.

The portal is designed to streamline your college experience and keep you connected to the resources you need.

How long will my current email account remain active?

Your old email account, along with its content (emails, calendars, Google Docs/OneDrive), will remain accessible until at least May 15, 2025. After this date, the account will be deactivated.

Why do I need to provide my personal email, phone number, and security questions during account setup?

You’re being asked for a personal email, phone number, and security questions to help with account recovery. This information allows Microsoft 365 to verify your identity if you ever need to reset your password or recover your account.

How can I transfer my email from my college account to my new @mainecc.edu account?
