Middlesex Community College meets students where they are. Featuring a variety of on campus and online classes, student support services and events, the Fall semester has flexible options to help students reach their goals. Middlesex kicked off the semester on Thursday, September 9.

“Students come to Middlesex because we help fit education into their lives in ways that work best for them,” said Arlene Rodríguez, MCC’s Interim Provost and Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs. “At MCC, students have access to individualized attention and support in their classes, advising sessions, and through all of the support services that are available to them. With this guidance, Middlesex provides a foundation of knowledge and skills that students can take with them to future colleges and careers.”

Even though the Fall 2021 semester has begun, students still have time to complete credits, fulfill general requirements, and get on track to reach their goals by registering for Mini-mester II courses. MCC’s Mini-mester II session starts on Monday, November 1.

In eight-weeks, students receive the same content, academic standards and number of instructional hours as the traditional 15-week semester.

For Fall Mini-mester II, students can choose between online and on campus course formats in both Bedford and Lowell and have the chance to explore topics in a variety of subjects, including classes on Art, Business, Education, English and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), among others.

To help students pay for college, MCC has frozen tuition and fees for the Fall 2021 semester. Middlesex also offers payment options and plans, financial aid, scholarships and financial wellness counseling. All returning and newly enrolled MCC students are eligible to apply for financial assistance, including Federal Higher Education Emergency Relif (HEERF) Funding.

In order to qualify, students must fill out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year. Completing a FAFSA sets up students for financial success, and students often qualify for more than they think. The deadline to fill out the FAFSA for the Fall 2021 semester is Wednesday, September 15.
