Mid-State Technical College announced Monday that registration for their 2016 Spring Semester begins October 22.

Online registration opens at 6:30 AM, while in-person registration starts at 7:30 AM.

Service members can register a day early.  Mid-State’s Service Member Priority Registration Day is October 21 with online registration at 6:30 AM and in-person registration beginning one hour later.

“Students are encouraged to register early to have the best class selection,” said Mid-State Registrar Denise Borland.

On October 20, current students will have the opportunity to meet with their program advisor to develop their Spring Semester schedule, get answers to questions, and ensure they are on track to graduate.

Mid-State is also accepting new applications for Spring Semester.  Individuals who already know the program they want to apply for can complete their application online; print applications are also available at the campus offices of each Mid-State location.  New student specialists are on hand at each location to help undecided students and people thinking about attending college choose the associate degree, technical diploma, or certificate that is best for them.

Financial aid is also available for many Mid-State students to help reduce the cost of college.

Mid-State, one of 16 colleges in the Wisconsin Technical College System, serves a resident population of approximately 165,000 in central Wisconsin with campuses in Marshfield, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids, and a learning center in Adams. More than nine in 10 Mid-State graduates are employed within six months of graduation.
