Northern Tier Center Gazette
Spring, Summer and Fall
Semesters Registration
is currently open as of April 1st.
Thomas Saelens With over 20 years of higher education
experience, I want to emphasize the benefit of
students that plan their college and educational
needs. Every student should take advantage of
the Spring semester to examine their academic
needs for the next full year and make decisions
regarding their attendance and class selection for
the three semesters that have open registration. I
would recommend each MCC student consider
the following:
 With a MCC Counselor or by yourself, review your program of
study. Determine which classes you have left to complete and
create a class rotation or schedule for each semester that you plan
to attend to complete your MCC degree.

 Make sure you look at when a class is usually offered, especially if
it is only offered limited times of the year.
 Make sure if the class requires a pre-requisite you have that
planned into your class rotation.
 If your Fall and Winter semesters will be difficult or requires a
heavy credit hour load, consider taking at least one class during
this Spring and/or Summer semester to make future semesters
more manageable. By taking a Spring and/or Summer class you
can reduce your Fall and Winter requirements.
 Take classes at the NTC (Clio) Branch when possible. It saves
time and money in travel expenses. Student enrollment at NTC is
the best way to expand future course offerings.
 Make sure you file your 2013-14 FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid) as soon as you have your 2012 income
information available. Completing the FAFSA form early is your
best chance to maximize your financial aid award and limit any
obstacles.
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. If
you need any assistance or have questions, please stop in and see
me or my staff.

ello,
I am Officer John F. Keahey; I’ve
been a police officer for nearly 26 years and
retired from the Flint Police Department in
May of 2009. During my career I’ve worked in
many different areas of Law Enforcement
including: Special Operations Bureau, FBI
Safe Streets Task Force, Investigations
(Internal Affairs), and Interim Chief of Police.
After a VERY SHORT retirement I started
working for Mott Public Safety in September
of 2009. I’ve spent the last few years working
at Main Campus, Work Force Development
Center and with high school students as the
School Resource Officer for Mott Middle College. I really enjoy working here at Mott
Community College and consider myself very
fortunate to have met so many wonderful
people the past few years.
Migel Gatica, is a certified police officer with
24 years of Law Enforcement experience. He
retired from the Flint Police Department in
June 2009.
Officer Gatica has been with the Mott Community College since September 2010 where

work at the Northern Tier Center winter semester 2012.
Their work schedules are (Monday-Friday)
7:30 am-3:30 pm and 3:00 pm - 9:30 pm and
his office is located in Room 109 across the

OFFICE HOURS:
Info describes a telephone scam in which the caller already has the credit card # but does not have the 3 digit security code on the back. The 3 digit security code confirms one’s possession of the par cular card and is generally requested when the card owner is making a purchase re‐
motely. Credit card companies would not ask for this number. CREDIT CARD “SCAM”
The caller then says, ‘I need to verify you are in possession of your card’. He’ll ask you to ‘turn your card over and look for some numbers’. There are 7 numbers, the first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you some me use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him. A er you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he’ll say, ‘That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you s ll have your card. Do you have any other ques ons? Following is an example of a telephone credit card scam. Person calling says—’This is (name), and I’m calling for the Security and FOR YOUR SECURITY:
