MyMCC Retirement

Project Status

The status of each area is listed below under Project Description & Scope.

Executive Summary

The goal of this project is to migrate all functionality from MyMCC and, eventually, retire MyMCC. This project reviews the current usage of MyMCC, collaborates with stakeholders, and migrates functionality to other services like Colleague Self-Service. Functionality that have a clear and simple migration will be transitioned first. Highly customized applications will require significant work and time for migration. This project is expected to be completed in October 2022.

Business Need & Background

MyMCC is a product maintained by Ellucian. Ellucian has announced end of regulatory support on June 30, 2021. Additionally, sustaining support will end on June 30, 2022. Due to support ending, MyMCC functionality must be migrated to other services.

Ellucian’s replacement for MyMCC is Colleague Self-Service. Whenever possible, MyMCC functionality will be migrated to Colleague Self-Service. Colleague Student Planning is not affected by this project.

Project Description & Scope

This project requires an analysis of current MyMCC usage followed by stakeholder meetings to determine the appropriate migration plan with agreed upon timelines. The data below reflects outcomes from stakeholder meetings.

A communication plan will be created to inform the community of this activity. This plan will ensure the individual stakeholders and the community understand the scope of this project and when activities are happening.

This project specifically involves the following departments and activities.
