Course updates

All face to face interactions with students have been suspended for the duration of the spring 2020 semester. The majority of courses have been converted to an online format.

Courses with hands-on labs, that have not been converted to an online format - including labs in dual credit CTE courses, are suspended. Students enrolled in these courses will receive grades of "Incomplete" and will be given an opportunity to complete the courses in the summer and/or fall. Students who do not elect to complete the courses will be given grades of "Withdrawn". Limited exceptions have been made and students will be contacted.

Students should email their instructors if they have questions. Visit the online directory for instructor email addresses.

5-week Mini-mester

We are offering a special 5-week session for students to earn up to 4 hours of college credit FAST. The online session runs from April 14 to May 15. In addition, students with a permanent Midland County address and who enroll by April 6, will receive a $100 scholarship. It will be awarded automatically, no application required.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize students are having to stay home for the rest of the spring semester, so we wanted to offer them an opportunity to gain some college hours,” said Dr. Damon Kennedy, MC vice president of Instructional Services. “There are also students who may have planned to work this summer and are now unable to find jobs. Midland College offers courses at a much lower cost than the equivalent courses at four-year universities. For these reasons, we are offering this special opportunity in the midst of all this uncertainty. Even if students are enrolled in another college or university, they are still welcome to take advantage of this special opportunity.”
