MCC Offering Virtual Open House

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester Community College is going ahead with a springtime open house for students and their families interested in the Summer and/or Fall 2020 terms, but will be doing so virtually to "ensure everyone's safety and health" during coronavirus restrictions.

The WebEx session is scheduled to be live Tuesday, April 28, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. It is free and open to new, returning and transfer students and their families. Just like a traditional college open house, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with MCC faculty and staff, MCC officials said.

It is not necessary to have a WebEx account to participate because access will be set up for all attendees via a portal, school officials added. For information and to pre-register, visit www.manchestercc.edu/openhouse.

During the virtual open house, MCC representatives will discuss admissions; financial aid; PACT, Connecticut’s program for free community college; programs offered and student benefits.

"We will have staff from all of these areas available, as well as current students. There
will also be plenty of time for questions," said Samantha Plourd, associate director of
admissions, who is coordinating the event with her staff.

In advance of the virtual open house, a series of online question-and-answer information sessions covering how to apply, enroll and complete a financial aid application. For schedule of sessions and to register for them, visit www.manchestercc.edu/enrollment/admissions.
