Stay on top of your studies

It's important to know when your academic deadlines are. Make sure that you know when term start dates are, when the last day to enroll in a term is, and when the most important financial aid deadlines arrive so you can complete your college tasks on time.

Admissions Deadlines

Admissions and Records deadlines includes when college application periods start and end, through which dates you can add or drop classes, when to apply for graduation, and more. For a more comprehensive list of important dates and deadlines, such as when priority registration occurs, review the annual timeline.

College Applications

College application dates mark the start and end of when students may apply to MVC for the upcoming term. Because MVC offers short-term courses during major semesters, application deadlines may end part-way through a term. High school concurrent enrollment deadlines are different than general college student applications.
