Welcome New Students!

Welcome to all new NMCC students who will be on campus today.  Please stop in the library to get your NMCC student ID.  We look forward to seeing you!

Library Services

NMCC students have a wonderful selection of local libraries.  We hope you'll use and enjoy the Edmunds Library at our college.  But, when our library is closed, you have other options. 

The Mark & Emily Turner Memorial Library in Presque Isle welcomes NMCC students and will issue a library card when you show your valid NMCC student ID.  They also have private study rooms, wi-fi, great computers, comfortable places to sit and work, and a great staff. 

The University of Maine at Presque Isle library will also provide a library card to NMCC students and offers many wonderful services and great spaces to sit and work.

Take advantage of these wonderful local libraries and visit them when you have a chance.

Half way there

The fall semester began on a hot and sunny day.  We just had our first snow storm.  We changed the clocks.  We are half way through the semester.  This is the point in the semester when students wonder if they will really finish and complete the semester.

Whatever you need to complete this semester, there is a place or a person on campus to help.

Visit the library for help and for a great place to study or meet with other students and work on your group projects.   Visit the academic success center for that extra bit of help and get tutoring in all those tough subjects.  Visit financial aid and make sure your paperwork is complete and learn about scholarships and work-study opportunities.  Visit the counselors, school nurse, business office, IT, and any other department that you think can provide assistance.

Our campus has a wonderful support system for students.  Connect with a department, a person, a program, and get exactly what you need to help you succeed.

If you have time, go to the new Wellness Center and exercise or take a Zumba class.  It may be a great way to de-stress.

Everyone on campus is wishing you great success.

Banned Books Week

Celebrate today at noon in the library with a presentation by NMCC instructor Eric Pelkey on the book Fun Home by Alison Bechdel.  Thanks to La and Lo Dorleh for the great display!!
