COMMUNITY EDUCATION TO COLLEGE

Earning your Adult High School diploma or GED/HSED? Learning English and completing English as a Second Language (ESL) classes? Take the next step and apply for a college program at MATC!

1. Apply Now
   Go to matc.edu/apply. (If you used this same system to apply for Adult High School, GED/HSED or ELL/ESL, go to the sign in section and use the same non-MATC email and password. If you forgot your password, choose the ‘forgot your password’ option.) You’ll choose a program. If you’re not sure which one is right for you, select “Undecided” and a career coach will contact you. If you plan to apply as “Undecided,” we recommend starting early to secure classes in your desired schedule. 
2.  Transcripts
   MATC already has your existing Adult High School, GED/HSED or ESL transcripts. If you have college credits from another college/university, including from another country that you want to transfer for credit, visit our Credit for Prior Learning and Experience page and complete the form.
   
   
3. Orientation
   Attend a Student Orientation & Registration Meeting (STORM).
4. Register
   Register for classes at matc.edu/register. Registration opens in April for Summer and Fall classes, and it opens in November for Spring classes (including Winter or Winterim classes). 
5. Payment Option
   Choose a payment option. If you’re eligible for financial aid (details at matc.edu), be sure to go to studentaid.gov and complete the application. If that’s not an option for you, set up a payment plan at selfservice.matc.edu (choose Student Finance). Be sure to review eligible scholarship options at matc.edu/schoalrships!
