Campus IDs will now be virtual. You will use your phone for building access and meal plans. To set up and obtain your virtual Campus ID, log into the MyMAC Portal with your credentials. Afterwards, select the IT Helpdesk tab at the top, and scroll to the MAC ID eAccounts section, where there will be a link and further instructions.

☐ Textbooks

After you get your class schedule, you can generate a book list through a link on the MyMAC Portal. Log in, then on the left side under “Quick Links,” look for “Textbook Lookup (Bookstore)” and follow the prompts. Starting in August, you can purchase your books from the campus bookstore. Students may purchase textbooks through the first week of classes.
