Create Your Education Plan
New Students
If you are new to MPC, schedule an appointment with a counselor for assistance in selecting courses. A completed education plan is one of the requirements for receiving priority registration as a new, fully matriculated student.
Transfer students can have their outside transcripts evaluated by a counselor to determine how their courses transfer to MPC. Counselors can evaluate unofficial transcripts, but eventually you will need to submit official transcripts to Admissions & Records if your goal is to earn a degree.
Continuing and Returning Students
If you have completed coursework at MPC, a counselor can evaluate your coursework and update your education plan. The counselor will also provide information about degree and transfer requirements and important dates and deadlines.
"I am so grateful for the opportunity to begin my non-traditional entry into college at MPC. The faculty has given me the confidence, materials, and time necessary for me to be encouraged about my future career as a nurse. From my first counseling appointment to one-on-ones with my teachers, I have felt empowered to achieve my educational goals."
Non-MPC Courses
If you've completed a prerequisite course elsewhere and the official grade has been recorded, please fill out the Prerequisite Verification Form and submit it, along with the unofficial transcript, via email at counseling@mpc.edu. Processing takes 1-3 business days. No counseling appointment is needed for this verification.
Outside Transcript Evaluation
Current and/or prospective MPC students who have already earned external college credit and are planning to graduate and/ or transfer from MPC should complete the Transcript Evaluation Request Form. External college credit can include: coursework at other regionally accredited institutions and external exam credit, such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
