MCC's New Registration Deadline


MCC’s longstanding practice of allowing and even encouraging students to enroll well into the first week of classes runs counter to strong evidence that a significant relationship exists between the day of a student’s initial registration and his/her success during that term. 

An analysis of MCC’s student records shows that -- when compared to their peers -- students who enroll late have less than a 50 percent chance of succeeding.  Clearly, this practice does not support student completion. 

Therefore, beginning this fall, MCC will implement a new registration deadline of August 29th for all classes, including late start. 

This is a tremendous shift for the college and our students, who will be running full speed toward the lure of summer in a few short weeks. You can help by encouraging them to register before they scramble for the exit doors. Please direct students to https://www.monroecc.edu/go/register, or to < mailto:registration@monroecc.edu> or 585.292.2300 with questions.
