The following checklist will walk you through activating, signing in, and getting set up with services and programs you will need to succeed at UTC. If you have any questions, concerns, or need further assistance, various ways to reach out can be found at the bottom of this page here.
New Student Account Setup Checklist
- Your UTC Account will be your primary way to access classes and resources. Duo mobile helps keep your account safe and secure by requiring additional verification.
- Username Terminology
- NetID: Students can find their NetID on their admissions acceptance letter by checking their status at utc.edu/apply.
- Your UTC is three letters and three numbers, like ABC123, and will often match your NetID. It is used to access UTC systems and services. It can be found alongside your NetID on your admissions acceptance letter.
- If you have previously been a Student, Staff, or Faculty member at a UT campus and already have a NetID, please Reset Your Password here to sync your password to UTC.
- Review UTC's Acceptable Use Policy for the University's standards on responsible technology use.
- MyMocsNet is UTC's central hub to essential services and resources. It is available anytime on the web at mymocs.utc.edu or via the 'MyMocsNet' mobile app.
- The MyMocsNet portal includes many helpful resources, including these quick technology guides:
- Technology Support Page - Go to Pages on the left menu and then locate UTC Cares to find this page.
- Account Management Widget – Easy access to Password and Duo Mobile management on your MyMocsNet dashboard.
- Account Info Widget – Easy place to view your UTCID, NetID, Microsoft O365 username, and primary email address.
4. Sign in to your UTC Email
- You will need to sign into your University-provided e-mail account, to keep you in touch with Professors and Advisors, as well as keeping up with campus announcements and activities. To provide a more consistent and reliable student experience across campuses, UTC is transitioning from Google to Microsoft 365 as the university’s primary platform for email and productivity tools. This provides you with access to collaborate with UT students, faculty and staff and utilize the Microsoft Office suite for your coursework.
- Where do I find my email?
- If you are attending Summer 2026, access your email via Google. This is accessible via your MyMocsNet account or by going to https://mail.google.com/a/mocs.utc.edu and logging in with utcid@mocs.utc.edu.
- If you are a new student for Fall 2026 or Spring 2027, access your email via Microsoft Outlook. Your Microsoft O365 username can be located in MyMocsNet on the “Account Info” widget under “O365 Username.” The username can be updated to mocs.utc.edu, if it is not already, by “Requesting Changes”.
- Once you’re on campus, you’ll probably want to get all your devices connected to our Wifi network. Click above for instructions on getting everything connected at UTC!
- Tips for getting on the Wifi.
- Make sure you have turned off MAC/Private IP randomization.
- All devices have to be registered with us for access at portal.utc.edu/registration once you have connected to the "UTC" network.
- Some devices like TVs may require you to access the registration portal on a separate device to enter the MAC Address.
- Once registered, computers, phones, and tablets are eligible to go through additional installation steps to connect to the UTC-Secure network.
