Multi-factor authentication (MFA) will likely become required for SMCC student accounts beginning in October.

If you haven’t set it up yet, now is the time. Completing MFA ahead of the requirement can help you avoid the rush and reduce the risk of losing access to your College account.

Once MFA becomes mandatory, Help Desk wait times could be longer if many students need assistance at the same time.

Setup takes less than five minutes. Learn more: www.smccME.edu/mfa
