Student Transition Program

What is the Student Transition Program?

It is a series of on-line modules where you will be introduced to the Metropolitan College Student Development Team as they guide you through the information and resources needed to help you succeed as a Metropolitan College participant. The modules consists of the following:

  • Metropolitan College 101 Module
  • Career Assessment Module
  • Financial Literacy Module
  • Time Management Module
  • Academic Support Module

When do I need to complete these modules and how long will it take?

  • You will complete this requirement prior to signing your first contract with Metropolitan College.
  • This on-line program will take you approximately 2-3 hours from start to finish. We request that you complete the program within 2 weeks of starting it.

How do I complete this requirement?

  • At UPS Orientation you will be given information about completing the Metropolitan College on-line Planning Session. While in the Planning Session you will be given the information needed to access your "My MC Page"
  • You can accesss the STP from your MyMC Page.

Is this mandatory for all new Metropolitan College students?

Yes. Regardless of the number of hours you have already accumulated, all new MC students are required to complete this program before signing their first semester contract. Keep in mind that the semester contract must be signed before tuition is due to your school to keep from having your classes dropped. Therefore, you must plan accordingly and complete the STP. There is ample opportunity to complete all necessary steps in a timely fashion.

What do I do once I have completed the STP?

Once you have completed the STP follow the directions that you were given in the "Outro" Module and print the Discover Inventory Summary Page and the STP Summary Page as documentation that you have completed the program. Be sure to take these summary pages with you when you meet with a Student Development Counselor at any Metropolitan College office to sign your contract. Remember that you also need to register for classes and apply for the current year financial aid. Again, it is important that you sign your contract before tuition is due to your school.

Do I have to complete this program more than once?

No, this is a one time only program that is required of new MC students at the beginning of their career with Metropolitan College Program.
