• MyCentral password = Sent to the student from the TSC via email. If they
cannot log into MyCentral, they should contact the TSC at 660-543-4357 for a
password reset.
• Students use their MyCentral ID to access MyCentral.
• Student Network ID = three letters and five numbers, e.g. mxh12340.
• Student Network password = Student should login to MyCentral, and go to
the Student Services > Student Home Tab. At the top left of the page, they will
see their Network ID displayed, and under it a place to submit a new
password. They don’t need to know a default; they can simply submit a new
password.

 Single Sign-On:
Changes for Students and Faculty/Staff

Applications, Blackboard Learn, and Office 365.
● This fall, more applications will be added to the Single Sign-On.
● For guidance, see the UCM Single Sign-On page.
● One of the significant benefits of the Single Sign-On system is that you can
request a password reset by clicking “forgot password” on the page. For this
to work seamlessly, however, you must have a Personal Email Address on
file within MyCentral. That address is where the password recovery will be
sent.
● You can check/change your Personal Email Address in MyCentral in the
“Update Address, Phone, Email and Emergency Contacts” section of the UCM
Personal Information block.
