Tracking Academic Success The MyMAC portal allows students to: register for classes, check their grades, see a list of required courses that they still need to take and view a degree audit. A degree audit is a checklist of the courses that your student needs to take and displays the courses that your student has already completed towards their degree. Students need their advisor to clear them to register each semester. It is important for your student to communicate with his/her advisor at least twice a semester to achieve success.

Students can access their grade reports through MyMAC from home.
