Thomas Saelens, Site Manager
I would like to take this time to
welcome each of you to our
Spring Semester at the Northern
Tier Center of Mott Community
College. Spring and Summer
semesters are very helpful for
students if they stay focused.
Most classes during Spring and
Summer only last 7.5 weeks versus the 15 weeks
for the Fall and Winter semesters. The Spring and
Summer semesters are accelerated where you can
complete classes very fast, but you can also fall
behind very fast.
As the Site Manager, my staff and I are
eager to assist with any issues or services you
may need. I am proud of the NTC location and
we hope you will look for classes to take in the
Summer and Fall at NTC. Remember:

Summer and Fall semester registration is
currently open. Visit with a counselor,
Advisor or myself if you need help
choosing classes.

You can register for Summer or Fall
without any payment or FAFSA completion
required, but remember you should file your
FAFSA as soon as possible to secure your
funds.

File your 2014-15 FAFSA (Free Application
for Federal Student Aid) as soon as you
have your 2013 income information
available. This new financial aid will be
used for Summer & Fall semesters of 2014.
Completing the FAFSA form early is your
best chance to maximize your financial aid
award and limit any obstacles.
I would like to offer some advice for success during
the Spring and Summer:

Read your course syllabus. This helps you
understand what is expected, how grades are
determined, when assignments are due, and if
assignments can be made up when missed.

Attend every class…missing one class can have
a major impact on your grade and success rate.

Introduce yourself to your instructor.
Communicate with them on a regular basis if
you need help. Do not wait until the last minute
and expect the instructor to solve five weeks of
issues in one hour.

Make a friend in class. They can help you keep
focused and on track. If you don’t understand
the material, two brains can be better than one.

Keep on top of your material and try not to fall
behind. It is better to read ahead and stay one
step ahead of the instructor in case you do run
into unexpected problems.
I hope to see you continue your success at
MCC and the Northern Tier Center. Thank you
for making our site a success in the
community.

Teaching Your Children
How to Call for Help
Teach your children how to call for
HELP in case of an emergency.
They should call 911 if you live in a
911 service area. If not, check the
telephone directory for local
emergency numbers. Post the numbers near the
telephone, clearly visible to children. Posting numbers
of neighbors or relatives is not only important to your
child but also responding emergency personnel in case
you are unable to speak. Prepare a family plan and
discuss what your child should do in case of an emergency. Even very young children can learn how and
when to call for emergency assistance.

Come By To See
“The harsh winter may mean more potholes and
payment cracks than we’ve ever seen in Michigan.
Spring brings the potholes season. Hitting one can be
both dangerous and expensive for motorists, and
locating them all can be expensive for us. So, when
motorists report a pothole, they save us money, and
we will fix it fast, saving motorist money.”
