Calling All Prospective College Students Including Adults

McHenry County College invites all prospective adult students, as well as high school juniors, seniors and their parents to attend the College’s annual open house event, called MCC Night. The two-hour event will take place on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on the main campus in Building B and the Gym/Multi-purpose Room.

MCC Night 2012 is the community’s opportunity to learn more about what McHenry County College has to offer in financial aid support, student life and athletics, and career counseling, as well as meet instructors and collect information about more than 40 college programs and degree opportunities.


Featured programs include culinary management, nursing, graphic arts, robotics and a variety of transfer degree programs, along with cooking, automotive, art and science demonstrations.. In addition, current high school students can hear about MCC’s High School Plus program for earning college credit while still in high school.


“MCC students do as well as or better than non-transfer students at Illinois state universities,” said Kellie Carper, supervisor of New Student Transitions. “Come check out what MCC has to offer, and get to know your community college.”


Adults who are interested in returning to college to earn a new degree or enhance their current skills, and those who wish to take personal enrichment and community education classes, are also highly encouraged to attend MCC Night.


MCC Night is free and open to the public. No registration is required. During this event only, the application fee will be waived for all high school seniors and prospective adult students who apply to MCC onsite for the Fall 2013 semester.


Refreshments and entertainment will also be provided. The College is located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake. For more information, visit www.mchenry.edu/mccnight, or contact Kellie Carper at (815) 455-8670
