For adults who are interested in
earning a college degree or certificate, but are unsure how to proceed, here is
the help you need.
McHenry County College will host the
next “Getting Started” Seminar from 5-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23 in Room
A102.
The “Getting Started” seminar
gives returning adults—who have been out of high school for several years or
longer—find out more about college degrees and admission requirements. They will
also have an opportunity to meet other potential students with similar
interests.
Attendees will learn about degree
and certificate requirements, start the financial aid process and tour the MCC
campus. MCC also offers free tutoring and academic advising to students.
Helen Jost, adult recruitment
coordinator at McHenry County College, specializes in helping returning adults
get started at MCC.
“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,” Jost said.
“These worries can be put to rest by the first day of class, she said.
All “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. For other programs for returning adults, visit www.mchenry.edu/returningadults.
The college is located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.
