Accessing Your MATC Gmail with DUO Security

MATC has implemented a multi-factor authentication (MFA) system called DUO for all students to securely access their MATC Google Apps, such as Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Docs, and Drive. This is an essential step towards protecting our students and their sensitive information. DUO is a free smartphone app for Apple and Android devices. As of April 2023, all students are required to use DUO MFA. If you have not already enrolled in DUO, you will receive an email from Duo Security (no-reply@duosecurity.com) with information to enroll.

Review the following resources or log into the myMATC Portal for more information about this change. If you have additional questions about DUO, contact the IT Helpdesk at 414-297-6541 or email helpdesk@matc.edu.

Step by step instructions and resources to get started.
