Page history last edited by kurt.chambers@... 9 years, 5 months ago

 

If you are new to teaching online with PC - welcome!  Use the information contained within this page to get started using Canvas

 

Overview 

  • Department Chairs  
    • Hybrid and Online Courses  - All faculty (adjunct and residential) need to complete the Getting Started with Canvas workshop (online or face-to-face). 

 


Maricopa Account Information

  • Memo (MEMO email) - Memo is MCCD email tool.  Announcements specific to Maricopa are sent/received via this email system and there are various Distribution Lists (DL) which allow you to send email to specific groups of employees. Your Maricopa email is added to Canvas and cannot be changed, so you will need to monitor this account.
  • Personal Administration Tool (PAT) - Use the PAT to update your personal information and change your directory password.
  • Maricopa Enterprise ID (MEID)  - Your MEID is necessary to access Canvas and various employee resources needed as part of your employment (including SIS, HRMS, CFS (financials) and the Vehicle Request Form).   
  • Student Information System (SIS) - SIS is used by Maricopa students and employees to gain specific information such as Records and Enrollment, Curriculum Management, Employee Self Service, Reporting tools, Academic Advising and Campus Community.  Faculty enter course grades using this tool, look up student information as well as their course information (including the class roster).
  • Human Resources Management System (HRMS) - HRMS is used by the Employment and Compensation office, Business Services division, Campus Fiscal, and HR offices to recruit, hire, terminate, track and pay all MCCD employees.  Access to HRMS allows you to review your paycheck, personal information, benefits, and gives you access to report and review your time, schedules and request absences.
  • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) - Information on MCCD's policies that were adopted to comply with FERPA requirements as well as other pertinent laws regarding access to other forms of official records.
    • Mandatory Training - FERPA training is required; visit this site for more information about the tutorial and the MCCD FERPA Annual Notification Statement.
  • My.maricopa.edu - links to various employee login screens for administrative systems such as SIS, HRMS, and CFS.  Both faculty and students use My Maricopa.
  • PCLAN - access to the PC network.  Use your PCLAN account to login to campus computers and save your work to server space.   If you have questions on this, contact Information Technology at 602.285.7200 or visit their webpage.

 

If you have any questions about the accounts, please contact either Employee Services or Information Technology.
