-What happens after I submit my application? How long does it take to process my application?

Applications are usually processed within one to two weeks once our office is in receipt of your complete application and receipt of fee payment.

Applications submit without needed document(s) (i.e. transcripts, fee payment receipt, stop clearance) will not be processed until such document(s) are received.

Probationary students application takes longer to process because they must first be approved by the Academic Warning, Probation and Dismissal committee. Once approved application will be processed by our office in a timely fashion.

Once applications are processed students will receive an official written notification of acceptance from the admission office. This letter will also contain registration information.

*Please note: often times there will be a delay in notification pending confirmation of registration dates. However, feel free to visit our registrar’s website for up to date information on all registration activities.

 

-If I file for re-admission and I don’t register, do I have to file again for the following semester?

No. Re-admit applications and fee payment are good for 1 year (two college semester). However, after the one year period you must file a new application and pay a new fee.

 

-Can I re-admit under a new major?

No. You must file for an official change of major with your advisor once you have been re-admitted.

*The only exceptions are those students returning to MEC for a Second Degree.

 

-If I’m a non-degree student can I re-admit into a degree program?

No. You must file an official matriculation application with the office of admissions once you have been re-admitted.

 

-Do I follow the same curriculum even though I am re-admitting into the same major?

That depends. Re-admit applicants who have not been enrolled for four or more consecutive semesters are subjected to the curriculum requirements in effect at the time of their re-entry. Students who return after less than two years may opt to follow old or new requirements.
