NMC issues updates on NMC fall semester

Along with many others in the CNMI who sustained substantial damage from Typhoon Soudelor, Northern Marianas College employees have been working hard the past few weeks to repair, renovate, and rebuild classrooms and other campus facilities so that delivery of quality instruction for NMC students can continue.

Because of the ongoing recovery efforts, the dates for the fall 2015 semester have been postponed from their original date. The first day of class is now on Sept. 28, 2015. All other relevant dates for the semester are indicated below.

It is important to note that the dates listed below are based on an expected timeline for the completion of important repair and renovation work necessitated by Typhoon Soudelor. The dates and corresponding times are subject to change. Students are advised to visit www.marianas.edu regularly to view any changes and other updates to the Fall 2015 semester.

If you have any question, contact (670) 234-5484 or email leo.pangelinanatmarianas.edu.
