How do I apply for EOP?
  1. Complete an MCC Application for Admission (mail-in or web-based). Check the appropriate box to indicate your interest in EOP and/or contact the EOP Office at eopoffice.monroecc.edu. You can get an application form and other information you need about MCC and its programs from the Admissions Office.
  2. If you are a high school graduate or a GED recipient, please forward an official copy of the high school transcript or official GED scores to the MCC Admissions Office.
  3. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Express Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Form. Be sure to make copies of all of these forms before mailing. Applications can be filed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you need assistance, you may contact the EOP Office or the Financial Aid Office. Keep in mind that it takes several weeks for financial aid to be approved, so be sure to submit your forms at least three months before you plan to start college.
  4. If you are academically eligible for EOP, MCC’s Office of Admissions will let you know and the EOP director will contact you. (Students accepted to Monroe Community College are not automatically accepted to EOP.)
  5. The EOP Office will send you an EOP application packet form and other papers asking for financial information as well as an announcement of an EOP Informational Session. In some instances, a personal interview may also be required. If you want to be an EOP student, you must attend the informational session and the personal interview, if requested. Informational sessions are offered throughout the year.
  6. You must return the completed EOP application, along with two recommendations and proof of your income for the preceding tax year. For example, if you are applying for admission in 2008-2009, you must provide proof of your 2007 taxable and non-taxable income (such as a copy of your income tax form). You may also be asked to provide proof of your parents’ income.
  7. If you meet all academic and financial guidelines set by MCC and the State, and show that you are committed to academic success, you may be accepted as an EOP student.
  8. All applicants to EOP receive a letter of acceptance or denial.
  9. All applications are processed at the Brighton Campus.


Deadlines for EOP Admissions:

Spring 2009:  Friday, December 12, 2008

Fall 2009:  Friday, May 29, 2009. 

Please note:  EOP Admissions deadline is subject to change contingent upon the number of  EOP applications received each semester.

Remember, there are a limited number of openings in EOP. Please start your application process early. Students who have completed all of the application steps will be the first considered for acceptance.
