MCC Creates New Virtual One Stop Webpage for Easy Enrollment

In these challenging times due to the pandemic, Middlesex Community College knows how to help students reach their academic and professional goals. For the Spring 2021 semester, Middlesex will offer about 90 percent of courses online and has created a Virtual One Stop webpage to make remote enrollment a simple process. Registration is now open.

“MCC’s Virtual One Stop webpage makes applying to the college, registering for classes and preparing for the spring term easy,” said Scott O’Neil, MCC’s Dean of Academic and Student Technologies. “Each step has a defined action and includes contact information should any questions come up about a particular step.”

On MCC’s Virtual One Stop webpage, students start by applying to the college. MCC has a variety of options for students of all ages and stages in their lives with pathways and resources that will guide students to success. Students can enroll in a degree or certificate program, or just take a few classes.

Middlesex’s Online Orientation and First-Year Experience introduces new students to the college – going over academic expectations; how to navigate the campuses, information on clubs, organizations and events; and how to access academic resources and student support services.

Financial aid can help students pay for the costs of attending MCC ­– such as tuition and fees ­– as well as books, living expenses, transportation and personal expenses. The Office of Financial Aid will guide students through the process of completing a FAFSA and understanding what types of aid they qualify for.

Students can then plan out their semester and register for courses based on their degree or certificate program, or the individual classes they need to take. Options include the traditional 15-week semester or accelerated eight-week Mini-mester courses. Formats include asynchronous online, synchronous online and hybrid delivery, in addition to some in-person course offerings.

Academic Advisors guide students through their time at MCC and beyond. Whether assisting students with their academic planning or helping them transfer to a four-year college or university, advisors help students be successful, stay on track, and reach their goals.

MCC understands that the pandemic presents a challenging time financially for students and that their money matters. To help, the college offers payment options, payment plans and financial wellness counseling. Enhanced online financial services make viewing and paying bills easy, and students can get refunds faster with funds deposited directly into checking or savings account.

Dedicated to helping students on their academic paths, MCC provides a student portal to help them get acclimated to the college, explore career and program options, find sources on classes, and communicate with faculty, advisors and other students.
