Thinking about starting the new year by pursuing a college degree or a certification to bolster your career? Mesa Community College is offering special Saturday enrollment hours on Jan. 17 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. for new or continuing students.
Students can meet with academic advisors, learn about financial aid, and find assistance at three locations in Mesa: MCC at Southern and Dobson, MCC at Red Mountain and Mesa Community Outreach Center in downtown Mesa.
"This Saturday enrollment event is an excellent opportunity for students who are unable to visit an MCC campus during the work week," said Spencer Peterson, Director of Instructional Support Services and Student Development at MCC’s Red Mountain Campus. "Our knowledgeable staff will be on hand to provide assistance to students who wish to enroll for spring semester."
All locations are equipped to handle student services in an easy, efficient manner. Students can choose from traditional, hybrid, evening or late-start classes that are available on campus or online. MCC now offers more than 600 classes online leading to 20 different online degrees and certificates.
While educational costs have skyrocketed across the country, leaving many students burdened by huge debts, MCC fees and tuition remain remarkably low. Attending community college before completing a bachelor’s degree at a four-year institution can save students a sizable amount of money.
But there’s more to it than saving money. Studies show that MCC students who transfer to an Arizona university do as well or better than those who enroll straight out of high school. MCC instructors offer quality learning experiences, networking opportunities and, in some disciplines, undergraduate research opportunities.
Spring semester begins Saturday, Jan. 17 and ends Friday, May 15. MCC also offers late start and online classes. For more information, visit http://www.mesacc.edu/spring.
