Hello and Welcome to Your MCC!

Welcome to Muskegon Community College, a dynamic institution serving Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, and Ottawa counties, as well as students online around the state, nation, and world. We continually strive to be a higher education leader in student success, community engagement, and innovative academic programming.

Muskegon Community College is on the move. Thanks to the generosity of the Muskegon County residents and support from Lansing to Washington D.C., our campus continues its most significant facilities upgrade since the construction of our current site in 1967. Our state-of-the-art Science Center, a life and physical sciences building that will serve our campus and business community for years to come, opened in 2015. Our Sturrus Technology Center, housing advanced manufacturing, robotics, entrepreneurial studies and more is now fully open and is part of $1 billion community wide development in resurgent Muskegon. We broke ground on our Health and Wellness Center on the main campus in mid-2017, upgraded the recently purchased MCC Lakeshore Fitness Center (former Muskegon YMCA building), and have completed design work on our Arts Center on the main campus. These exciting campus renovations and additions enhance MCC’s focused efforts to remain nationally and internationally competitive by connecting our exceptional faculty and staff with new state-of-the-art facilities.

Just as importantly, MCC is a leader in student success, recently named the top community college in Michigan and among the top community colleges nationally, ranking 27th of 1,711 colleges reviewed. You, our students, have performed in Carnegie Hall, set world records, and won state, regional, and national championships on athletic fields and in the classroom.

We invite you to tour our campus, meet with our dedicated instructors and caring staff, and learn for yourself how MCC can help you get anywhere you want to go. Whether you are here taking courses to transfer toward a higher educational degree or to retrain for the jobs of tomorrow, our credits will help you succeed.

Regards,

Dale K. Nesbary PhD, President Muskegon Community College

2 - 2018 - 2019 Muskegon Community College Catalog Our Mission at Muskegon Community College

Muskegon Community College, dedicated to equity and excellence, prepares students, builds communities, and improves lives.

Introduction Successful Students, Successful Communities, Muskegon Community College’s 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, focuses on continually creating, building, and improving an environment to foster and celebrate student success. Students come to MCC for many reasons: to finish an associate degree and transfer to a four-year university, to complete a certificate or degree to enter the workforce, to build skills for career advancement, to enrich the experience of high school, to engage in learning for the joy of learning, and, sometimes, because they don’t know what else to do. Whatever your reason for choosing MCC, please know that you, your goals, and your MCC experience are vitally important to us. We have many educational and career pathways, and we have many people and services in place to help you select the one that is best for you, support you as start and stay on your path, and celebrate with you as you complete important milestones. Every member of the MCC community, from facilities staff to college president, will be rooting for you when times get tough, when things are going well, and when you have accomplished all you came to do at MCC.

Located near the shores of Lake Michigan, MCC is a vital part of a growing community, providing learning opportunities on our main campus, at our new Sturrus Technology Center in downtown Muskegon, at off-campus locations in Ottawa and Newaygo Counties, and online.

218 - 2018 - 2019 Muskegon Community College Catalog English

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE ENGLISH CLASSES EARLY! Knowledge of the English language and skill in using it are required in many aspects of life, including one’s employment and, consequently, many MCC courses, programs, and degrees require competency in English composition. If you are contemplating earning an ASA degree or are planning to earn a bachelor’s degree at a four-year school, you are strongly advised to follow the guidelines below. If you are planning to enter another program or are unsure of your plans, see a counselor for specific requirements that may apply to you.

STUDENTS MUST TEST BEFORE ENROLLING IN ENGLISH CLASSES. Before enrolling in any college-level English courses, you must meet the Ready to Succeed requirement (See next page). Also, you must either submit ACT or SAT Reading and Writing scores, take the MCC Placement Test, or submit a level 1 or 2 on both reading and writing on the MME tests. Call the MCC Testing Center at (231) 777-0394 or go to Room 134 to schedule an appointment if you do not meet the ACT, SAT or MME requirements. Placement tests are required to facilitate placement in classes and/ or programs. Such tests are not intended to prevent participation but to help students make appropriate choices.

GUIDELINES If you are required to take English 091, take it your first semester. Take English 101 in your second semester and English 102 in your third semester.

If you are not required to take English 091, take English 101 within your first 15 hours of coursework, even if you are required to take English 114 concurrently, and English 102 within your first 30 hours of coursework.

All English courses use computers for writing, so knowledge of some word processing program is helpful.

DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES Students testing into two or more developmental courses must complete the following before being allowed to enroll in their second semester:

•Schedule an appointment and meet with an MCC Counselor to create an academic plan •Enroll in CSS 100A.

The following is the priority sequence for completion of assigned developmental courses:

1. Reading COURSE DESCRIPTIONS 2. CSS 100A 3. MATH 036A 4. ENG 085 or 089, 091 5. Math 038 and 040 may be deferred until the second semester. It is understood that part-time students may not be able to take all courses at once.
