Answers
Account creation & logging in
As a new student, how do I create my account or know what my email and password are?
Shortly after your account is created, the college sends an email to the
personal email address in your student records
containing all the information you need for your first login. It'll tell you your
Massasoit email address
, give you a
temporary password
, and include some instructions to get you going.
Be sure to check your spam/junk/clutter folders for this email! Some email services are set up to automatically delete spam emails after a certain period of time, which could mean that our email with your account information was lost.
If you have trouble finding our email or using the information in it, you can always
contact the ITS Help Desk
and we'll be happy to help you log into your account.

How do I reset my password?
You can reset your password using the following methods:
Click "
Forgot password
" on the
MyMassasoit Portal login page
. To access this link, you'll first need to enter your full Massasoit email address on the login page, then click Next. This method requires that you've set up at least
2 Multi-Factor Authentication methods
on your account. If you haven't done that yet, you won't be able to reset your password with this method.
Log into the MyMassasoit Portal, then click on the
3-line menu
in the top-left -> My Account -> Change Password.
Contact the ITS Help Desk
. The Help Desk can always reset your password
over the phone or in-person
after verifying your identity.

I just registered for courses. Why can't I log in?
Massasoit accounts are created once a student registers for courses or gets admitted to the college, and it takes a bit of time for it to fully process. If you were just admitted or just registered for courses, give the system
24 business hours
to fully process before trying to log in.
If it's been longer than 24 hours since you were admitted or registered, check your personal email address that you provided while applying or filling out paperwork for the college. Check your inbox and spam folders to see if there's an email from Massasoit containing your first-time login details.
If it's been longer than 24 hours and you don't have an email from us or your login isn't working,
contact the ITS Help Desk
and we'll be happy to help you get logged in or investigate what might be causing an issue.

I'm a former Massasoit student and haven't taken classes for a while. My login isn't working. What do I do?
Massasoit student accounts are
automatically disabled after 2 years
of not being registered for courses. A short time after the account gets disabled, it will be deleted.
Former students who wish to return and register for courses at Massasoit should reach out to the
Advising, Career & Transfer Center
to be re-admitted
. Once the ACT Center has re-admitted you and helped you get registered for courses, your account will be automatically reinstated within 24 hours from the time of registration.
Former students who are not looking to register for courses but wish to log into their Massasoit account after it has been disabled should
contact the ITS Help Desk
. The ITS Help Desk can submit a ticket for disabled accounts to be temporarily re-enabled; however, if it has been enough time for your account to be
deleted,
we unfortunately cannot provide access to your account.
For more information about our policy and procedure for disabling student accounts,
see our article here.

I just logged in and it says "More information required" then it tells me to scan a QR code. How do I get through this and log into my account?
Upon logging into your Massasoit account, you will be prompted to set up
Multi-Factor Authenticaiton (MFA) methods
. This is the "More information required."
When the MFA prompt comes up, it will start the process for setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app by default - this is what the QR code is provided for.
While this is the default method that comes up, you don't have to use the authenticator app method if you'd prefer not to. Simply click on the "
I'd like to set up a different method"
button in the bottom left and you'll be able to set up a phone number and/or email address.
For full instructions on setting up your MFA methods,
see our first-time setup article here.
For more information on MFA in general,
see our MFA FAQ article here

My test/quiz requires Respondus LockDown Browser. I've downloaded it but it's still not working. How do I take my test/quiz?
Respondus LockDown Browser is an internet browser, similar to Google Chrome or Safari, which is used to limit students' ability to use resources on their computer while taking a test.
If your test is saying that you need to use LockDown Browser over and over again even though you've tried to download it, follow these steps:
On Windows computers and Macs, make sure that you're starting off by accessing Canvas using LockDown Browser. This means opening the LockDown Browser program on your computer instead of opening Google Chrome, Safari, or any other browser. On Windows, open up the Start Menu and search for "Lockdown" to find it. On Mac, you can find it in the Launcher/Launchpad in your dock.
If you're using a Chromebook, LockDown Browser should be installed as a Chrome extension. It should kick in automatically when you navigate to a test in Canvas.
Once LockDown Browser opens, it will prompt you to log in with your Massasoit account and bring you straight into Canvas. From there you can take your test inside LockDown Browser.
For more information and instructions on using LockDown Browser,
see our article here.
If you need more help with LockDown Browser, please
contact the ITS Help Desk.
