Once You’re Accepted and FAQ

Once you’ve been accepted to CMCC, you’ll complete some easy steps to finalize your admission!
Please read all information on this page before contacting the Office of Admissions. Answers to many frequently asked questions are found on this page.
Step 1: Tuition DepositThe tuition deposit is a small portion of a student’s bill, showing they are committed to attending CMCC and is common among colleges and universities. Once accepted, the $75 tuition deposit, credited toward your first-semester bill, must be submitted to reserve your seat and register for your first semester classes. Programs and courses often fill up quickly. We strongly encourage online payment; the sooner the deposit is received, the sooner the applicant will register. Please note, your tuition deposit (not housing) can be waived with financial aid. Once you receive your financial aid award letter, contact the Office of Admissions and let us know. Read more about applying for financial aid.

Please complete and return the Health and Emergency Contact Form and the Immunization Record Form.

You can do so by having your physician complete the back of the Immunization Record Form or by providing copies of your immunization records. Records may be emailed to enroll@cmcc.edu.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to additional questions people often ask, not answered in the drop-down areas above.
Transcripts and Credits
Why is a preliminary and final transcript required from the same school?A preliminary transcript means not every class has a final grade yet, and temporarily suffices until a final transcript can be produced. The Office of Admissions does not know if a student is in ongoing classes with the school until one of these documents arrives.
CMCC requires all prior college transcripts to enroll regardless of age, credit earned, or grades earned. Typically, credit earned with a C or better within the last ten years has a good chance of transferring in. The Office of the Registrar begins the credit review after a student completes all admission-related requirements.
Near the end of the enrollment process, your transfer credit information will be available to you on your CMConnect Student Portal under the Students tab. Login Instructions
