The MLC Portal

The following pages contain information on how to use the MLC Portal for various tasks. To access the MLC Portal, please visit https://portal.mlc-wels.edu from your web browser of choice (i.e. Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, etc.).

Portal Overview

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.

Information Release

You have control over what information you authorize MLC to share. Please follow the directions below to review and/or update your information release options. You can return to this page on Portal at any time to make changes to your authorizations.

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.
