The staff at the
MCC
Northern
Tier Center is
happy that you
chose to attend
the Clio Site.
NTC is growing
and this provides
us with opportunities to provide
better
services
and a wider class
selection. Many students want to
take more classes at the NTC/Clio
site. One of the best ways to increase the selection is to increase
our student enrollment and to communicate to our NTC Staff any
classes you like to see added to
the schedule. I, as the Site Director, make
recommendations to
each Academic Division regarding
class selection and your input is
very valuable consideration.
As you continue your Fall semester
classes remember to plan for Winter Semester registration. Try to
take as many classes as possible
at the NTC/Clio site and be aware
of the following items:
1. Winter Semester 2012
Registration will begin
November 1, 2011: Classes Begin on
January
14, 2012.
Qualified students may
register on-line or in person at any campus location.
NTC and each campus
will have Counseling
hours for help with
registration.
December 12, 2011 is the
payment deadline date.
Student’s
registration after this date must
secure a payment option
at the time of registration.
2. Stay focused in your Fall classes. If you find yourself struggling in class, seek help from
the instructor as soon as possible. Instructors want you to
be successful.
3. If you need to drop a class for
Fall semester, make sure you
understand how it will affect your
financial aid, tuition balances,
and academic standing. You
may speak with a Counselor for
assistance.
4. December 14, 2011 is the last
day to drop a class and receive
a “W”. A “W” will not affect your
G.P.A but will be used for Financial Aid standards.
5. As you get close to Mid-Term
and Finals, remember the college has some amazing resources for students success
that include:
Math Empowerment Zone:
Free math help for any student in any math class provided by MCC instructors.
Gorman Center.
Writing Center: Any student with any writing assignment can get help by
MCC English instructors.
They will critique and assist
you with your assignment.
Curtice Mott Building
Tutoring:
