The MCC website, www.MorganCC.edu, reflects the most current college information. Each semester’s MCC Schedule of Classes and changes, the MCC Catalog and Addendum, calendar of important dates, directory of staff, and general college information are accessible on the site. In addition, there are many tasks that can be accomplished electronically: apply for admission, apply for financial aid, find necessary forms, and access the college library.
