How to get your MacID back

To access university systems, services, and apps, every member of the McMaster community is given a MacID, a special alphanumeric identification number. Some services might need additional permissions.


Your MacID is not the same as your student ID or job ID.



To retrieve your MacID if you've forgotten it, follow these steps:

  1. Go to maciam.mcmaster.ca and select Need help with your MacID?
  2. Select I Forgot My MacID, then click Next.
  3. Enter your nine-digit Person ID #, your 14 digits Barcode and your date of birth in mm/dd/yyyy format. Click Submit.
  4. Your MacID will be displayed on the screen.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Registrar's office through their online chat service at registrar.mcmaster.ca if you are unable to find your student number and barcode number.

How to configure your default email account

The main account inbox will get every piece of mail sent to your MacID@mcmaster.ca address. This could be your own personal external account or an internal account at McMaster. Your McMaster account will be entirely ignored if your primary email address is not a McMaster account, and no mail will be deposited into your McMaster account inbox.


Use the Service Desk to contact assistance if you have any queries or are having trouble fixing your problem.



NOTE: It will take 24 hours for this change to take effect. Mail will not be delivered to your account until the following day.

Step 1. Log In to maciam.mcmaster.ca.

Step 2. Click on “View Identity” at the top of the page.

Step 3. Your details will display. Click on “Manage.”

Step 4. Your details will display. Click on “Edit Identity”. Select the email you wish to make the primary email for yourself and “Submit”

How to modify a password

You must be aware of your MacID password and want to change it in order to complete this process. Please go to the guidelines for Forgot your Password if you have forgotten your password.

Select the radio button next to the course section you want to enroll in, then click "next." You can examine the information before clicking "next" once more to put the course section in your shopping basket.


You can either carry on your search or proceed to the next stage once the first course has been added to your purchasing cart. When you are prepared to complete your purchase, click the Enrol button to view a review of your shopping cart. Choose "Proceed to Step 2 of 3" and confirm by clicking "Finish Enrolling." View the video, "Searching for and Adding Courses," for more information about adding classes.

How to leave a course
