Portal Overview

The MLC Portal will open automatically when opening some browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox) on MLC campus computers. It can also be accessed directly at https://portal.mlc-wels.edu.

The Portal contains daily updates and notices to MLC faculty and students, as well as directory type information for the general public.

Once students log into the Portal, (an Acceptable Use Policy may appear the first time), they can access additional personalized information such as their class schedule, email password, mailbox and dorm code, transcripts, recorded absences, surveys, etc.

Scheduling Tools

The Schedule Planner tool allows you to select courses and organize them into a daily and weekly schedule.  The tool has features that will show scheduling conflicts and help resolve those conflicts.  You can add or drop courses, switch courses between semesters and immediately see how your selections affect your schedule.

Note:  The use of the Schedule Planner does not automatically register you for your selected courses.  Your academic advisor will give you more detailed instructions on registering when the time is appropriate.
