MCC’s Virtual Open House Prepares New Students for Fall Semester

Middlesex Community College has a lot to offer students for the Fall 2021 semester. Featuring a line-up of on campus, online and hybrid course formats, award-winning support services and resources to get students on track, Middlesex provides the flexibility students need to reach their goals. As part of the Virtual Open House – Summer Series, MCC will host a New Students Open House from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 10.

Middlesex understands that enrolling in college can feel overwhelming for students – whether they are fresh out of high school, adult learners returning from years out of school, the first in their family to go to college, or working while taking classes. The latest Virtual Open House is designed to walk students through the process of applying for and attending college, while targeting their individual needs.

“The Fall 2021 semester at Middlesex has options that will meet all of our students’ diverse needs and goals,” said Jillian Freitas-Haley, MCC’s Assistant Dean of Admissions.  “This virtual event will offer presentations about getting started and answer all your questions about MCC! Students and their families will leave with the tools and knowledge they need to be set up for success from day one of their time at the college.”

During the virtual open house, sessions hosted by experts throughout Middlesex will cover a variety of subjects, including academic and career advising, enrollment and course placement, and visiting the campus Libraries and bookstores.

There will also be sessions on Financial Aid and how to pay for college. Sessions will also help new students learn how to get involved around campus and take advantage of MCC’s many support services such as tutoring and Disability Support Services. Adult learners returning to school will also have a few sessions geared specifically toward their needs.

The event will use the software – SCHED – to provide a dynamic virtual experience. After registering for the Open House, participants will receive an email from SCHED providing them with instructions to sign-up for their preferred sessions.
