MCC NEWS: At Admitted Student Days: Next Steps for Incoming Students, attendees learn about - and start - their next steps at McHenry County College: prepare for an upcoming New Student Orientation, review outstanding course placement, check student emails and student accounts, access financial aid, explore campus, and more. Students who haven’t yet completed their online orientation will be encouraged to complete it at this event and sign up for the in-person orientation, where they will later register for fall courses. These dates were chosen to align with in-person orientations; we will make sure attendees are registered for an upcoming in-person orientation. The information in the Admitted Student Days events will include topics covered during the Fall Enrollment sessions presented at the high schools. However, we continually receive new applicants through the spring and summer, and we want to capture as many future students as possible. Plus, not everyone was able to attend the sessions at the high schools. (It’s also a good review.) This is an optional event. The Admissions and Recruitment office welcomes students and their families to connect with New Student Enrollment Coaches any time through appointments, drop-ins, phone, or email. We are happy to review the topics above. A QR code to our booking system is included.
