Students that go to class are more likely to succeed! 

Office hours are for YOU! Stop by and introduce yourself to your professor! Check your syllabus for your professor's office hours or visit the directory here. If these hours don't fit with your schedule, email and see if there is another time you can stop by!

It cannot be "All work and no play" NOR "All play an no work." Schedule time in your calendar to study, but also make sure to schedule some time for yourself to do something you truly enjoy! College is all about balance with the many other things going on in your life, and it is up to you to find what works best. EMCC staff are here to help, all you have to do is ask! 

Students who engage in healthy habits are more likely to succeed in school! 

There are so many people at EMCC dedicated to your success! All of our staff members are dedicated to helping in every way possible, because in the end, your success is our success! Reach out to the counseling department here to talk more about important resources EMCC has to offer!
