There are multiple campus locations and flexible schedules available to accommodate students who have other life and work commitments. Academic support services are also provided to those who seek disability assistance or one-on-one tutoring for their coursework. College life at EMCC comprises the on-campus housing experience, recreational activities, specialty organizations, and more. The fitness facilities onsite give students a break from their academics and studies in order to exercise and focus on health and wellness. The policy for admissions requires that applicants possess a high school diploma or GED and have taken Algebra I as a pre-requisite for all programs. EMCC encourages applicants to complete a financial aid application (FAFSA) at the same time they apply for enrollment. Significant tuition discounts are extended to state residents.
