Accessing Your MATC Gmail with DUO Security
MATC has implemented a multi-factor authentication (MFA) system called DUO for all students to securely access their MATC Google Apps, such as Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Docs, and Drive. This is an essential step towards protecting our students and their sensitive information. DUO is a free smartphone app for Apple and Android devices. As of April 2023, all students are required to use DUO MFA. If you have not already enrolled in DUO, you will receive an email from Duo Security (no-reply@duosecurity.com) with information to enroll.
Review the following resources or log into the myMATC Portal for more information about this change. If you have additional questions about DUO, contact the IT Helpdesk at 414-297-6541 or email helpdesk@matc.edu.
Step by step instructions and resources to get started.

Blackboard Navigation Support
The college's official platform for delivering courses is Blackboard. All online and partially online courses use Blackboard, but instructors teaching face to face courses may also use Blackboard to provide content, assessments, and grade feedback. See the Online Access Guide and the Online Student Support Website for support. Please note - dates that appear on the Blackboard courses page only reflect how soon your instructor could make a course available for early access. Always refer to your class schedule in Self-Service for the official course start dates!
