Fall 2020: Look for College Success Courses Contextualized for each School

For new students, MCC can seem big and overwhelming. The Schools at MCC can help students navigate the space and connect to the resources they need. A student's School is their neighborhood in the city of MCC. And now, that neighborhood will have a classroom. This fall, students will have the opportunity to experience all that makes College Success courses great with the additional benefit of learning more about their School and field of study. Faculty Liaisons have worked throughout the 2019/2020 academic year to create assignments and activities that customize the College Success topics to each School.

As you work with and advise new students, please let them know about this exciting opportunity. Here are the School-based COS course sections for fall 2020:
