Summer hasn’t even started yet, but it’s never too early to get a jump on fall. MDC has opened fall registration earlier this year, making it easier for students to get into the classes they want. It’s a good way to enjoy your summer without having to worry about fall classes. To sweeten the deal, those who register by April 21, will be entered into a raffle to win one of five Beats by Dre headphones.

“If students register early, they have a higher probability of obtaining the classes they need at the times they want,” said Harry Linenberg, executive director of enrollment management. “Another benefit of early registration is that if a student needs assistance from an advisor, it’s much easier and quicker to see an advisor early rather than waiting in long lines as it gets closer to the first day of class.”
Search and Enroll
Making it even more attractive for students to register early, is the new My MDC app which delivers a number of handy features such as access to class schedule, payment history, final grades and financial aid information, among others. Also included is LiveSafe, a platform that allows users to quickly connect to each other in emergency situations. The app has been newly updated with a Search for Classes and Enroll function that easily allows students to easily find the registration information they need.
Fall Semester Classes Start August 27th.
