Upon admission, all students are issued a username and temporary password. While enrolled at DMC, your username gives you access to WebDMC, Canvas, campus computers, and other resources. If you have not yet received them, get your username and password now.
Protect your account
Your password will expire every 120 days. You may change your password at any time by enrolling in VikingKey or using the Office 365 portal. It is the student's responsibility to maintain access to their own account.
