Are you an adult who wants to pursue a college degree but have questions about returning to college?
McHenry County College invites you to a "Getting Started" seminar from 6:00 to 7:30 pm Wednesday July 28 or from 9:00 to 10:30 am Thursday, August 5 in Room A262L.
This seminar gives returning adults a chance to meet others like yourself, and help you learn about the many degree and certificate programs along with understanding the financial aid process. MCC also offers free tutoring and academic advising to students.
Helen Jost, adult recruitment coordinator at McHenry County College, specializes in helping older adults—those who have been out of high school for several years or more—get started at MCC.
According to Jost, many adult students have jobs and families and worry about getting back into the swing of attending classes, studying and taking tests and being in a classroom with younger students. These worries can be put to rest by the first day of class, she said.
Other “Getting Started” seminars will be held in the fall, including 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 15 or 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 23.
“Getting Started” seminars are free of charge. To reserve a seat, call (815) 455-8914 or e-mail hjost@mchenry.edu. Refreshments will be served.
