Student Records, Appeals and Petitions
Maintain your records
Admissions & Records maintains records for all past and present Moreno Valley College students. Let us help you meet your enrollment and registration needs, and help you access and maintain your MVC student record.
Make Changes and Updates
Students can maintain their basic information by logging into MyPortal. Update your mailing address, phone number, personal email and emergency contact information online. Some information may be required to be verified any time you register for classes.
If you are a student employee, make sure to contact the student employment or Riverside Community College District office depending on your type of employment.
Your student address is used to send diplomas and other important records. Not having your current address on file may result in delays. To change/update your address, log onto MyPortal.
If you're unable to access MyPortal, you may also fill out the Student Change of Information form and walk it into the Admissions & Records office or mail it in with a valid picture ID to:
Moreno Valley College
ATT: Admissions & Records
16130 Lasselle Street
Moreno Valley, CA 92551
If you are an employee, you must also make sure to notify your employment office. District employees must contact the Human Resources office while student employees must contact the Student Employment office.
For more information regarding submitting your change of address, please call (951) 571-6101, or send an email to Admissions & Records.
Complete the Change of Information form and submit it to Admissions & Records by email. You must submit the form with a valid photo ID. Changes to educational/academic goals should be completed after speaking with an academic counselor.
Use the Change of Chosen Name or Gender Identity form to complete a change of your legal/preferred name or gender identity/preferred pronoun in your student record. This form should be submitted to Admissions & Records.
If you need to change your legal name (which may occur following marriage, divorce or adoption) or change your social security number (which may occur in cases of gaining citizenship or identity theft), complete the MVC Student Change of Information form and submit it to Admissions & Records. You must also present proof of the change by providing a legal document with your new name, or your new SSN card, depending on what you are changing. These changes will go on your student record. If changing your name, your account display name will be updated, but your email address and student ID number will not.
If changing this information, student employees must also contact the student employment office, while district employees must contact Human Resources.
Request the change of your Riverside Community College District home college. Your home college is where you receive your student services and the college that awards your degrees and/or certificates. It’s initially set as whatever college you submitted your application to.
