Fox Orientation

FOX Orientation is held in an in-person format which would require a trip to campus or as an online option held on Zoom.  If you register for in-person, you will need to make a trip to campus. If you register for the Online section, you will receive the login information the week of your scheduled FOX session.

FOX Orientation is scheduled for 2 hours. We will be sharing information on financial aid, degrees and academic planning, campus resources, navigating online systems, and more.

Yes, FOX Orientation is mandatory. It will provide you with information to prepare you to begin your academic journey.

You will simply need a computer/tablet/phone with the ability to access the internet and the link that will be provided to you to access the Zoom Meeting.

We share information on financial aid, campus resources, navigating online systems, processes, and much more. The registration form is for students, however, if you would be more comfortable with someone attending the Meeting with you, you are welcome to do so. The in-person meetings will have limited seating, please email foxorientation@mecc.edu if you plan to have a guest attend with you.

If you cannot attend the session you originally registered for, please complete the registration form to select a date that will work for you. We ask that you make your best effort to keep the original date you select, but understand things can come up.

You can always email foxorientation@mecc.edu.
