Advising
The MCC Advising Department is located on the top floor of L.O. Todd Hall. The primary
responsibility of an advisor is to guide students in making wise selections of course
offerings with careful attention to institutional policies and degree requirements.
In addition, effective advising will also assist students in identifying available
internal and external resources that will have a positive impact on their MCC experience.
Consideration of each student as a unique individual with unique needs is recognized
as the foundation of MCC’s advising program.
