Motlow registration only weeks away

With just a few weeks remaining before on-site registration at Motlow College, school officials are encouraging those who wish to take fall classes to submit applications as soon as possible.

On-site fall registration will be held Aug. 25 from 1 to 6 p.m. on the Moore County campus, the McMinnville and Fayetteville centers, and at the Smyrna teaching site.

“Students need to get their admissions applications processed and explore financial aid possibilities through the financial aid office as soon as possible,” said Greer Alsup, director of admission and records. “Doing so will facilitate the registration process and help their chances of getting into the classes they want.”

Alsup said a student does not need to be pursuing a degree to attend a class or classes at the college.

“Anyone who wants to take a class can register as a special student for credit and not be pursuing a degree,” she said. “Classes are available for those wanting to learn computer skills, study literature or creative writing, or learn more about our nation’s history or other topics of interest.”

In preparation for the fall semester, several new student orientation sessions are scheduled this month, and academic advisors are available to advise students.

Also, bookstore hours have been extended for student convenience and are as follows for the McMinnville Center:

Aug. 2-24: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Aug. 25-26: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Aug. 27: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Aug. 30-31: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
