Starting college is an exciting time filled with many new experiences, but it also is a time for adjustment as students learn to navigate the college environment. To help first-time college students, Montgomery County Community College’s Pottstown Campus offers the College Connections Experience (CCE) – an immersive academic pathways program.

The CCE program connects first-time college students to a full array of resources, including free introductory classes in their first semester, textbook and laptop assistance and academic, career and financial advising. Success coaches will work closely with students throughout the program to facilitate academic and professional development opportunities.

MCCC is accepting applications now for the next cohort, which will start on July 6. The CCE program is available to all first-time college students who plan to major in Liberal Studies, Business Administration, Accounting and Management associate degree programs at the Pottstown Campus. A Title III grant from the U.S. Department of Education provides funding for the program.

For more information or to register, email cce@mc3.edu. Applications are due by Friday, June 11, at 5 p.m.
