Registration ongoing for Fall Second 8-Week courses at MCC

Aug. 28, 2023

Prospective students still have a chance to enroll in courses at McLennan Community College this fall with the College’s 8-Week course sections. Registration for Second 8-Week courses continues through Oct. 15 for classes beginning Oct. 16. Current McLennan students may register 24 hours a day, seven days a week through MyMCC. New students should visit www.mclennan.edu/admissions/become-a-student/index.html to learn how to become a student at MCC.

Students spend the same number of hours in the classroom in 8-Week courses as they would in traditional 16-Week courses, but courses are completed in half the time. The shorter period for the courses allows students to focus on two subjects per 8-Week session rather than the four or five subjects studied in the traditional 16-Week schedule. Research shows that students are more successful when attention is limited to fewer subjects, as they are less likely to get overwhelmed and potentially drop courses. These offerings also allow more flexibility for scheduling, and students may be able to earn a degree faster.
