Middlesex Community College offers flexible and affordable options to guide students to success. Registration is now open for MCC’s Spring 2026 semester, starting Tuesday, January 20, 2026. The Spring session includes a three-week WinterSession, which kicks off Friday, January 2.
“Now is the time to start making your plans for the Spring 2026 semester at MCC,” said Kayla Caron, MCC’s Registrar. “Our academic schedules are designed to help you fit education into your busy life. With our variety of options, you can complete your education in a way that works best for you, whether you want to start or advance in your career, update job skills, or transfer to a four-year institution.”
At Middlesex, flexible schedules and class formats meet students where they are, including accelerated sessions that offer the same content, academic standards and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled in the traditional 15-week semester.
MCC’s WinterSession and two eight-week Mini-mesters provide the perfect opportunity for students to complete general education requirements and earn transferable college credits. During WinterSession, students can take classes while most other schools are on break.
Held twice in both the Fall and Spring semesters, Mini-mesters allow students to start taking classes on their own terms. The shorter sessions are also an excellent way for students to finish more classes in less amount of time, helping them transfer or enter the workforce faster.
While Mini-mester I starts on Tuesday, January 20 – the same day as the traditional 15-week semester – Spring Mini-mester II will begin on Monday, March 23.
During the Spring 2026 semester and WinterSession, students can choose between on-campus, online, hybrid and hyflex courses for MCC’s over 80 associate degree and certificate programs. All students also have access to award-winning student support services and resources, including academic, transfer, career and financial advising.
No matter your age or income, community college is now free in Massachusetts! The MassEducate and MassReconnect programs allow all Massachusetts residents who have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree to attend MCC for free.
