(Additional enhancements for the Academic Institution/School Portal will be coming soon) NCMIS uses personally identifiable information to positively identify service members, so to safeguard the system from unauthorized access. We ask that each school assign a supervisor to request user accounts for individuals that will post grades. Also, user accounts should be assigned to a single individual and no two individuals share an account. When accounts are no longer required, please notified the NCMIS program Office (850-473-6053) to have the account closed. Access to NCMIS may be revoked at any time without notification if set guidelines are not followed. This User guide will be updated as the functionality of the School Portal is expanded.AccountsRequest an Account: Complete the “My Education Account Request for Academic Institutions” form found in the appendix of this document or downloaded from the School Portal Homepage at SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 1: Login PageOnce the application is completed please submit it using the Live Help Now E-Ticketing system.
