Fee waivers for Jan. NMC info session participants

Individuals who participate in the Northern Marianas College’s free information sessions will qualify to receive fee waivers for the NMC admission application and placement tests for the upcoming Spring 2012 semester—a savings of about $50.

The first information session, which is open to all prospective students and interested community members, is on Jan. 4, 2012, from 5:30pm to 6:30pm in Room D-1 at the college’s As Terlaje campus. The next information session, which is for government and private sector employees, is on Jan. 5, 2012, from 5:30pm to 6:30pm in Room D-1.

At both sessions, NMC faculty, staff, and students from the different degree and certificate programs at NMC, as well as Student Services representatives from counseling, financial aid, and admissions will be on hand to answer questions.

At the session for government and private sector employees, other important topics that will be presented include a new spring 2012 semester schedule, which includes more weekend and night classes in order to accommodate working individuals who are not able to attend classes during the workweek. In addition, financial aid options will also be discussed. For instance, the college offers a 50-percent discount on tuition for government employees who are ineligible to receive other scholarships.

NMC offers several degree and certificate programs, including bachelor of science degrees in education (emphasis on elementary education, early childhood education, special education, or rehabilitation and human services), associate degrees in business, business administration (emphasis on accounting, business management, or computer applications), liberal arts, nursing, natural resources management, criminal justice, and hospitality management. Moreover, it offers short-term certificate programs in different vocational, academic, and professional areas.

Registration for the upcoming spring 2012 semester will begin on Jan. 10, 2012. Class schedules, placement test schedules, important dates, and other information for the spring 2012 semester are now available online at www.nmcnet.edu.
