Thank you for choosing Montgomery Community College. Our goal is to make your admission process simple and seamless. For the best possible results, we recommend completing these admission procedures at least four weeks prior to enrolling in classes.
An applicant applying fewer than four weeks prior to enrollment may be notified to follow admission procedures as a walk-in student during our open registration period.
Readmission
Students who have not been enrolled at Montgomery Community College for more than one year are required to submit a new application for admission and complete the Residency Determination Service (RDS) process to establish their residency status. A new application may be necessary to update student information, confirm program availability, or ensure compliance with any admission or policy changes.
Readmission of Servicemembers
Montgomery Community College complies with 20 U.S.C. 1091c and any applicable federal regulations regarding the readmission of servicemembers. In accordance with this law, the college will promptly readmit any student who was previously admitted but did not attend or could not continue attendance due to service in the uniformed services. Such students will be readmitted with the same academic status they had before their military service to ensure a seamless return to their educational pathway.
Let’s get started!
To view a list of programs offered at Montgomery Community College, visit our Academic Programs.
As part of the Application for Admission, you will be required to complete the Residency Determination Service. Upon completion, you will receive your Residency Certification Number (RCN), which must be provided on the application prior to submission. If you do not have Internet access, please visit Student Services. Click the link below to begin the two-part application process.
Once your Application for Admission is received at MCC, you are assigned a Student ID number which will be used for your online accounts. Your ID number will be emailed to you with your first correspondence from MCC.
After receiving your Student ID, you are encouraged to activate your student account through MCCTechTrail. Future correspondence will be sent to your TrailMail address (student email) and updates concerning your admission and financial aid will be available through your Self Service account. Students should check these important accounts frequently.
Request your official high school (or equivalent) transcript and official transcripts from all other colleges attended to be sent to the following:
Montgomery Community College
Enrollment Office

Troy, NC 27371
Official transcripts may also be submitted via an electronic transcript service to Enrollment@montgomery.edu.
If you graduated from a North Carolina high school within the last two years you may be able to request your official transcript be sent through CFNC.
NC High School Equivalency (HSE) records (GED, HiSET, and TASC) can be requested at www.diplomasender.com.
MCC accepts any high school which is accredited/recognized by local and state regulatory authorities as being a legitimate high school or alternative school. Students who attended a school not meeting this criteria may be asked to provide additional information to clarify validity of the high school. Students who graduated from an invalid high school will have to show another form of high school equivalency in order to pursue an academic program of study. Students who wish to appeal the Records Office’s determination may use the Student Appeal Process.
Students will be granted provisional acceptance to college until all transcripts have reached the Admissions Office. Students will not be placed into any required English or math courses until all transcripts have been processed.
If you wish to apply for financial aid, please visit MCC’s financial aid page for a step-by-step guide to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). After submitting your FAFSA, you should begin checking your Self Service account regularly for any required documents to complete your financial aid file.
Placement for ENG 111, MAT 143, MAT 152 & MAT 171 will be determined based off of the following factors:
Unweighted High School GPA of 2.6 or higher = immediate entrance into gateway courses without a pre-requisite.
Unweighted High School GPA of 0-2.599 = pre-requisite course ENG 025, MAT 025, MAT 035 (program specific on MAT pre-requisite requirement)
Please note: All pre-requisite courses are currently taught through curriculum. Students must pass the pre-requisite course with a "C" or higher to be eligible to take the gateway courses.
When the registration period opens, students are required to contact their advisor to schedule an advising and registration appointment to discuss their academic plan and review course offerings. Advising is available to students by scheduling a meeting, emailing or calling their assigned program advisor – your advisor’s name will be included in your acceptance letter.
After registering for courses, payment for tuition will be due by designated due dates. Registration is not complete until payment has been made.
Tuition payment options:
Pay online through your Self Service account.
Contact our Business Office to pay with cash, check or credit card.
Set up a Nelnet payment plan. (The payment plan is only available during advertised dates.)
Financial Aid (Applicants pursuing financial aid assistance should apply early and check student email and Self Service accounts frequently for notifications and status updates.)
Please be aware that some of our programs have limited enrollment. When a program reaches its enrollment limit, the applicant will be notified by the Admissions Office regarding wait list eligibility and any additional requirements that must be met before being placed on a wait list. (In many cases, this is a multiple-step process as applicants may have one or more additional requirements that must be met prior to being placed on a wait list.) For our allied health programs, being placed on a wait list or alternate list does not guarantee acceptance into a future cohort.
When any prerequisite requirement has been met, including any previous placement courses or placement testing prior to Developmental Education work for course placement, the applicant must notify the Admissions Office if the academic record of that information is will not be included on their official transcript records. At the time of the official, appropriate documentation being received by the Admissions Office, the applicant’s record is re-assessed, and the applicant will be notified concerning additional requirements.
