Find Your Portals Here

As a JMC Student, you will have access to Office 365, which includes your new Student Email account as well as all other Microsoft Office Applications. As part of your account, you will also have access to Microsoft Teams, which you will use to communicate with your lecturers and fellow classmates. Please monitor your emails and Teams accounts regularly.

(Please note that accessing Microsoft 365 can take up to 24 hours after activation).

Paradigm allows you to view course and enrolment details, including unit codes, start and end dates, grades, your timetable, and more. This is also where you will select and self-enrol in your classes for the trimester.

Canvas is your hub for detailed unit information, assessment submissions, results, and feedback from lecturers. You'll receive your login details a little closer to your start date!
