When a student is accepted to Motlow State, a MotlowHUB account is generated for the student. This account is what allows you to access various services within Motlow State, including on-campus computers, your student email, D2L/Brightspace, your MyMotlow account, and more.
Your MotlowHUB Username
Your email address is generally in the style of first name initial + last name + two-digit birth month + two-digit birth date, followed by @mscc.edu. If a system asks for a username, leave off the @mscc.edu portion.
Example:
For John Doe, with the birthdate January 21, 1996
Email: JDoe0121@mscc.edu
Username: JDoe0121
Your MotlowHUB Password
Your first time password is in the style of your three-character birth month (with the first character capitalized) + pound (#) + the four-digit year of your birthdate + pound (#) + the last four digits of your social security number.
Example:
For John Doe, with the birthdate January 21, 1996 and social security number 123-45-9876
First Time Password: Jan#1996#9876
International Students / Students Without an SSN On File
If you are an international student or otherwise do not have a social security number on file, the last four digits in your password will be your Motlow State A number.

First Time Password: Jan#1996#3945
Returning Students
If you are a returning student, your email address, username, and password will be the same one you used when you were an active student. If you do not remember your login credentials, please feel free to contact Technical Operations Support at support@mscc.edu to retrieve the information.
