Enrollment
Steps to Admission
- APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION & SCHOLARSHIPS
- Fill out the online application for admission and scholarships. If you are an international student, there is a separate application and process.
- If you are not seeking a degree, please indicate you are a guest student when filling out your application.
- HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY (HSED) TRANSCRIPT
- Request that your official high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma be sent to the MCC Admissions Office. These must be official transcripts sent directly from the school. If you received your High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) in the State of Iowa, you can request your transcript here.
- PREVIOUS COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS
- A transcript from each college previously attended must be provided. These must be official transcripts sent directly from the previous college(s) to the MCC Admissions Office. Your application will not be complete until all transcripts are received.
- ACT/ACCUPLACER/COMPASS SCORES
- Request that your official ACT, ACCUPLACER, or COMPASS scores be sent to the MCC Admissions Office. Scores are used for placement in classes; they are not admissions assessments. In many instances, high schools make a record of scores and the scores are part of the high school transcript. Score results need to be within the last five years.
- The ACCUPLACER Next Generation assessment is offered through the MCC Admissions Office. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
