Admission to the college does not necessarily mean admissions to all courses or programs. Degree or Certificate Students (Matriculation) Students applying for a degree or certificate program must complete the Admissions Application form along with a one-time non-refundable $20.00 application fee, submit official transcripts or diploma from an approved high school/college or an official copy of the GED, and submit proof of measles/ rubella immunizations. Requirements for Admissions An applicant must be a graduate of an approved high school or possess a State High School Equivalency Diploma (GED), or be a college graduate. Students are required to be in-state legal residents for a period of one full year from the date of the first class of the semester to receive benefits of the in-state tuition rate. Proof of residency may be required by the Admissions office. Students are admitted to the College for courses that begin in the fall semester (September) and in the spring semester (January). Persons wishing to study at MCC are urged to apply for admissions as early as possible before the semester in which they expect to begin. New and transfer students are encouraged to apply for new student advising and registration, prior to late June for the fall semester and prior to mid-December for the spring semester. New students that apply after these dates can still register during walk-in registration. However, there is no guarantee that the courses students would like to register for will be available at that time. Health Career Applications Students interested in pursuing a health career must fill out a separate Health Career application in addition to the MCC Admissions Application. There is no charge for the health career application. Health Career applications are available in the Admissions office. Applications for the Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care, and Surgical Technology programs are accepted all year long. Please consult program coordinators for specific deadlines. Completed applications should be returned to the Admissions office, L-156. No special application is required for the Therapeutic Recreation and Sport and Exercise Studies programs.

International application packets are available in

It is recommended that students planning to enroll in a college transfer program of study meet with a transfer counselor (Counseling Center L-108). It is especially important for students to be informed fully about the requirements of the transfer college or university because of differences in program requirements among institutions.

Assessment Tests English and math assessment tests are required for all degree and certificate candidates after they have been accepted for admission. Tests must be taken prior to registration. Transfer students having mathematics and English credits will be exempted from taking tests in those subjects. For partial testing, the approved exemption form must be presented to the test administrator before testing. The results of the assessment test will be used to determine the individual’s level of achievement in math and/or English and will determine appropriate class placement. Retesting is not allowed for students who have entered the writing sequence. For more information about assessment testing, call 860-512-3304 or visit the College web site at www.mcc.commnet.edu. Students accepted into Health Career Programs are required to meet with the specific Health Career Coordinator to obtain test results and for planning course selection. Business Careers Students: Placement examinations for beginning shorthand or keyboarding will be administered upon request to students who have successfully completed one or more years of shorthand or keyboarding in high school, or who have demonstrated considerable skills in these areas. Students who pass these placement examinations need not take introductory courses. For further information, speak with the Director of the Center for Business and Technologies and the Director of the Social Science and Hospitality Division. Advanced Placement Program Advanced placement may be granted to entering students on the basis of scores on the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Examination. Scores of 3, 4 and 5 are granted degree credit for equivalent courses as determined by the academic divisions. All paperwork should be submitted to the Admissions office. For questions referring to specific courses, please call the appropriate academic division. Re-Admission Students who have been accepted and enrolled in a degree or certificate program of study at MCC should submit a re-admission form if progress towards completion of their program has been interrupted by an absence from the College for more than two years. Students will be required to follow the requirements of the Catalog current to their readmission. (Please note: students applying for re-enrollment into Health Careers programs will be placed in the General Studies Health Careers pool pending reapplication and acceptance to the specific Health Careers program.) It is not necessary to submit a new set of credentials or another $20.00 admissions application fee with the reenrollment form. However, students who attend another college during an absence from MCC, must submit an official transcript of those studies to the Admissions office in order to receive credit at MCC.

A student who has proof of payment for the maximum full-time tuition at their “home” institution is exempt from further charges at a state university, the University of Connecticut, or another community college. A student who has paid the tuition and fees of a part-time student at their “home” institution and registers for additional courses at another college shall not exceed the amount charged for a full-time student, if the student’s combined registration at both institutions would classify them as a full-time student.
