EMA Notification for Families
The Emergency Medical Authorization form (EMA) is a form that should be completed annually during the annual registration process for both new and returning MCCSC students. Per MCCSC policy, a current Emergency Medical Authorization must be on file for students to receive care in the school health office and attend field trips and off campus extra-curricular activities. 
For your convenience, the following instructions have been created to assist you in completing the Emergency Medical Authorization form. 
  1. Go to mccsc.edu, -> Resources -> Families, then click on “Family Welcome Center”
  2. Click on the “Skyward Family Access” button. Log into your Skyward Family Access. If you do not remember your login or password, please click on Forgot Your Login/Password at the bottom of the screen or call your student’s school.
  3. Click on “online registration" and select the student you wish to complete enrollment/registration forms for.
  4. Click on the forms on the right-hand side of the screen and complete the forms. The EMA is form #4. Skyward will pre-load most information for your convenience, but will default to “no” on all medical history, therefore, please ensure that all information is accurate before saving.
  5. You should complete all steps in the online registration process, as the system may not count any of the forms complete until the entire registration is complete.

The MCCSC Community Bulletin Board is the home for approved notices from not-for-profit community organizations.
