How do I login to Moodlerooms? How do I access my account for my online class?

Login to my.mtsac.edu.
Click on the eLearning Tools tab.
Click on "Access MtSAC Moodlerooms" in the Moodlerooms Channel.
Once you're logged in to Moodlerooms you should see your course on the right hand side of the screen.

When I click on the Moodlerooms link I get a page asking for my username and password. Why? What should I do?

That is because your MyPortal password and your Moodlerooms password are not properly synced. To fix this you need to change your MyPortal password. This is how you change your password:

Login to my.mtsac.edu.
Click on the "My Account" link on the top left side of the screen, above the Home tab.

You should always check your schedule to make sure you are successfully registered for the course. You cannot access Moodlerooms for a course you are waitlisted for!

Make sure you are following the password requirements:

The password length must be 8 or greater.
The password length must be 20 or less.
The password must contain a letter.
The password must contain a digit.

Make sure you are using a password that hasn't been used in the last 10 times.
Make sure to type your new password carefully to ensure it is typed as you intended.

My professor said to get familiar with Moodlerooms but where is the course?

It seems the course disappeared from my list of courses. What should I do?

Login to your MyPortal and check your class schedule to make sure you are registered for the course. Remember, classes you are on the waitlist for will not appear in Moodlerooms.

What do I do if my course is not on the list in Moodlerooms?

Check your schedule to make sure you’re still registered for the course.
Check with your professor to make sure the class is available for you to access.

I'm registered for the course, it is set to available, and I have changed myportal password, but I still can't access Moodlerooms. What should I do?

If you are registered for the course and have changed your MyPortal password and still can’t get in, do the following:

Email your ‘A’ number, Myportal Login ID, MtSAC email address and the CRN of the course to mrsupport@mtsac.edu. Please do not send us your password.
Please be sure to include a detailed description of the problem and steps you have taken in an attempt to resolve, so we can be efficient and better assist you.

Emails sent after 4:30pm Monday - Friday will get a reply the next business day.

I'm trying to access Moodlerooms but myportal.mtsac.edu is down and I really need to turn in an assignment. What can I do?

If you are having difficulties accessing myportal.mtsac.edu and need access to Moodlerooms, then we encourage you to contact helpdesk@mtsac.edu. If it is determined that the portal is actually down, it is possible to access Moodlerooms directly by going to the following link: https://mtsac.mrooms.net/. Your login information is the same as the Mt. SAC portal login information.

Keep in mind that it is not recommended to use this as the primary method of accessing Moodlerooms, and you should always attempt to access Moodlerooms through myportal.mtsac.edu first before attempting this method.
