MCC to Host ‘One Week to Go’ Events Ahead of Fall 2024 Semester
MCC will host One Week to Go events on both campuses from Monday, August 26 to Thursday, August 29
Middlesex Community College is excited to welcome students back to campus for the start of the Fall 2024 semester, beginning Tuesday, September 3. To help prepare new and returning students, Middlesex will host One Week to Go events on both campuses from Monday, August 26 to Thursday, August 29.
“One Week to Go is the perfect time to get ready for the semester while connecting with staff and classmates on campus in either Bedford, Lowell or both,” said Maria McDuffie Clark, MCC’s Director for Student Engagement for Equity. “You can finish and get assistance with any of the steps you need to take before the start of classes, while familiarizing yourself with all MCC has to offer.”
The events will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday in the Lowell Cowan Center and Bedford Enrollment Center. A social outing will take place on August 30. Students can attend open office hours for areas across the college, including Admissions, Enrollment, Financial Aid, Academic Advising, and more.

The week will also provide opportunities to tour both campuses, visit the bookstores and other importance spaces around campus, get the required MCC ID, register for classes, and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
To celebrate the upcoming semester, the college will provide food, games and prizes for participants. The event is one of the ways the college promotes equity and access, emphasizing the importance of building relationships with peers, engaging with the community, and fostering a supportive environment.

One Week to Go is co-hosted by MCC’s Offices of Student Engagement, International and Multicultural Affairs, and the SUCCESS Scholars Program.
“MCC offers many resources, support services and activities all semester long,” McDuffie Clark said. “Set yourself up for success early on by joining us the week before classes start!”
This Fall, students can choose to register for the traditional 15-week semester or two accelerated eight-week Mini-mesters. While Mini-mester I begins September 3, MCC’s Mini-mester II starts on Monday, October 28. Visit www.middlesex.mass.edu/registration/ or call 1-800-818-3434 for more information and to register.
