User Name & Password at Mesa State College

Students of Mesa State College have a network/computer account used to access MavZone and other resources at Mesa State College. A user name and password is needed to access this account.
  • Your user name is:
    • In the form of the first initial from your first name, followed by the first seven letters of your last name. If your last name has fewer than seven characters, just enter all the characters of your last name.
    • For example, Lady Maverick would be "lmaveric".
    • However, there are some conflicts with students who have similar names, like John and Jane Smith. Since no two students may have the same user name, so some students may have their middle initial or other characters as part of their user name.
    • To look up you user name,
      • Go to the Campus Directory.
      • Enter you last name.
      • Click the Search Button. And

  • Your Password Expires:
