Home-Schooled Students
MCC encourages applications from students who are home schooled. While the nature of home schooling is inherently unique to each student, the college requires appropriate documentation to determine admission.

Home-schooled students should follow the application procedures outlined above and submit one of the following:
- A list of courses taken and grades earned and/or portfolio of work accomplished
- GED/HISET or other testing for placement purposes, if applicable

Re-admitted Students
Matriculated status is maintained by successfully completing one course per academic year. Students unable to maintain this requirement who wish to re-enroll must seek readmission. Students are advised that they will have to abide by any new admission requirements for specific programs. Students should also note that there is no guarantee of readmission, as courses or programs with limited enrollments may not be available. Students seeking readmission must:
- Submit a completed Application for Admission
- Submit additional documentation as required by the Office of Admissions
- Meet or exceed all specific program requirements for their program of study as outlined in the program description in the catalog
