Are you brand new to Madison College (or newly admitted to a program)? Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

Attend an Advising and Registration (AR) session to enroll in your first semester classes. You’ll also become familiar with the technology you’ll use as a student. Attendance is highly recommended for all newly admitted program students and attending an in-person session is mandatory for some programs.

If you're admitted for the Fall semester, you can expect to receive your invitation starting in April. If you're admitted for the Spring semester, you can expect to receive your invitation starting in November.

Advising and Registration Session Checklist

Follow the steps below to be best prepared for your Advising and Registration session.

If at any point along the way you need help or have questions, contact Enrollment Services or click the "Chat with Us" button during business hours to chat with a college staff member.

    Attend Your AR Session

    In-person Session (highly recommended)

    In-person sessions are provided frequently to meet your schedule’s needs. You’ll be able to meet with an Academic Advisor and receive hands-on assistance to enroll in you classes, connect with Financial Aid to get your questions answered, and obtain your student ID card.

    Online Session

    If your program doesn't require in-person session attendance and you are unable to attend an in-person session, you can select an online session. An email will be sent to you with a link to a video presentation that contains enrollment-related information to help you get started. Once you complete the session, refer to the contact information provided in the presentation if you need assistance completing course selection or enrolling in classes.
