Orientation: Welcome to MC

MC is an incredible place, and we are so excited to welcome new students to our community! After you've been accepted to MC and turned in all the necessary information, Orientation will be your first step in officially being an MC student. Orientation will give you an opportunity to begin understanding what it means to be a student at MC, as well as sign up for your first semester of classes at MC. In 2024, we are excited to offer both one-day and two-day Orientation sessions. Both freshmen and transfer students can sign up for any of our orientation sessions. The cost of Orientation is built in to your MC tuition and fees, therefore there is no cost for new students to attend orientation! Up to 2 guests can attend with each student for a separate fee of $30 per guest.

*Two day sessions includes small group meetings, large group sessions, activities, and academic registration. These sessions are the best way for new students to get the "big picture" of life as an MC student. Day one of the two day session will begin around 9 am and conclude on day two at 12 noon. A two-day session is highly recommended for the full orientation experience. 

Single day sessions are a condensed version of our two day sessions. Students and guests still have the opportunity to meet in small and large groups, learn about campus involvement and register for fall classes. One day sessions will begin around 9 am and conclude at 5 pm.

Bring a Guest to Orientation!

If you'd like to bring a guest or two with you to Orientation, you can register and pay the guest fee at the link below. Each guest is $30 and each student can bring up to two guests to Orientation.
