One Month to a Whole New .edu!


The launch of our whole new www.monroecc.edu is only one month away, and the Web Re-Envision Project team wants to share more with you about what to expect.

The changeover from our current website to the redesigned new pages is scheduled to happen during the week of Sept. 21, and the switch should be seamless to users. If you’re logged on at the time, you’ll see the new design as you reload or change pages. If you log on afterward, you’ll automatically be greeted by the new look and layout.

No downtime is expected but if minor issues come up, staff will be on standby, ready to help.

Once this first phase of the redesigned website goes live,
www.monroecc.edu will have several enhanced features:

* A new homepage with greater visual appeal; increased emphasis on academics via a highlighted, searchable, indexed Majors & Programs section; more student success stories; and the latest of what’s happening at MCC.

* All-new Admissions and Tuition & Financial Aid pages that share complex information in clear, easy-to-understand language.

* Buttons “For Employees” and “For Current Students” on every page across the site, leading to custom landing pages with links, information and other familiar content – including the popular A-Z index – that will help the MCC community in their day-to-day work at the College.

* A fully mobile-ready and responsive experience that displays and functions across the mobile devices we know our audiences use every day.

All of these adjustments have been made based on data, research, testing and feedback to help attract and support prospective students as they decide their next steps toward future success, which we all hope begins here at MCC.

As we get ready to launch our redesigned website, you can find more information on
https://blogs.monroecc.edu/web/ , and can contact Project co-leads Colleen Brennan-Barry (Web communications) at <mailto:cbarry@monroecc.edu> or Randy Bowen (enrollment management) at <mailto:rbowen3@monroecc.edu>.

And REMINDER! We’re offering a sneak peek of our whole new
www.monroecc.edu during our upcoming College Hour Lunch & Learn presentations:

* Monday, Aug. 24, Brighton Campus, Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Empire Room, 3-209), noon to 12:50 p.m.
* Tuesday, Aug. 25, Damon City Campus, Community Room (4193), noon to 12:50 p.m.

In each talk, we’ll discuss the philosophy and goals of redesigning the College website, and will preview the new homepage, as well as the admissions, financial aid, majors & programs, and other top-level pages.

No registration is needed; just grab your lunch and join us!
