At Middlesex Community College, flexible and affordable options guide students of all ages, backgrounds and goals on the path to long-term success. Registration for MCC’s Fall 2023 semester is now open.

“Make your fall plans now to get ahead of your goals and set yourself up for success,” said Scott O’Neil, MCC’s Dean of Enrollment Services. “Our Fall 2023 schedule has offerings for students from a variety of populations – recent graduates exploring their options, high school students making their college applications more competitive, adult learners jumpstarting or advancing their careers, and more. We have the flexibility, resources and support services that will help every student pursue their dreams.”

Flexible course formats keep students on track to complete their studies faster, including on-campus, online, hybrid and hyflex options. Students can choose which modality works best for their schedules and needs in addition to choosing between day, evening and weekend classes.

MCC offers two eight-week accelerated Mini-mesters in both the Fall and Spring semesters to allow students to complete classes in a shorter period of time. This helps students finish their credits faster, balance coursework with other responsibilities, and start classes later in the semester if needed.

Mini-mesters provide the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester. While Fall 2023 Mini-mester I begins on Tuesday, September 5, Fall 2023 Mini-mester II will start half-way through the semester on Monday, October 30.

The college’s more than 80 degree and certificate program options are designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions or enter the workforce. Every student gains access to award-winning student support services and resources when taking classes at Middlesex. This includes academic, transfer, career and financial advising.

To help students pay for college, MCC offers Financial Aid and Financial Wellness support, as well as scholarship and grant opportunities. Many of MCC’s programs offer students a chance to apply the knowledge they learn in their classes to real-world experiences, whether in a Learn and Earn, internship, Service-Learning, networking, lab or clinical opportunity.

To show students more about what the college offers, Middlesex will host a Lowell Open House at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26. Over 300 prospective students and their families attended a previous Spring Open House in Bedford on Wednesday, April 12.

The Fall 2023 semester starts on Tuesday, September 5. Students can also register for MCC’s Summer 2023 semester – starting on Tuesday, May 30 – which offers an eight-week, three-week, and two five-week sessions.
