Advising
All students are encouraged to discuss educational objectives as well as personal goals with their advisors before registering for classes.
Advising for New Students
New student advising appointments can be made by calling the MCC Student Services Office or MCC Center offices. After the initial consultation with the intake advisor, the new student will be directed to a faculty advisor who will assist the student with ongoing advising and academic needs.
Advising for Continuing Students
Continuing students should contact a faculty academic advisor by setting up a personal appointment, or requesting advising be done via email or telephone. Students should consult regularly with their academic advisors to assure they are on track toward their academic goals.
Undeclared Students
An undeclared student is one who has not declared a program/major and is not working toward a certificate or a degree at MCC. Undeclared students are generally not eligible to receive financial aid. Students who are undecided should meet with an academic advisor to discuss their educational and occupational goals to determine if they should declare a program of study.
Transfer Advising
MCC strongly recommends that transfer students seek assistance from an academic advisor to plan a transferable curriculum.
Changing a Program/Major
A student may change a program/major by submitting a 'Student Records Change' form to the Student Services Office or MCC Center by the listed census/drop deadline for 15-week courses for Fall and Spring terms. Summer term program/major changes must be made by the 10-week course census/drop deadline. Changing a program of study/major may result in a change in degree/certificate requirements and may affect financial aid eligibility, so it is recommended that students consult an academic advisor prior to making a change.
