Going to Mt Sac?

Email to Hunzeker:


Dear Counselors and Liaisons

The High School Outreach team is busy planning an exciting and informative event that will focus on career options, academic counseling services, and transfer. Seniors' Day will take place on Saturday, May 19, 9am-2pm. Please encourage your students to sign-up online ASAP! Registration closes at midnight on Wednesday, May 16. Due to budget limitations, we have scaled down Seniors' Day from 2 days to 1 day. Because the event is on a Saturday, please encourage your students to car pool with friends. Seating is limited to 400 students and we anticipate that the event will fill up fast. Students must have their Mt. SAC student ID# in order to sign-up.

NEW this year:  Parent Conference during Seniors' Day for the first 200 parents who sign up to attend! The purpose of the parent component is to assist parents in understanding the changes that their son/daughter may face during their transition to college. A parent guest may only sign-up if their son/or daughter is registered to attend. ONE parent per student (only for the first 200 parents)/no exceptions.

Students must sign-up on-line by going to http://instruction.mtsac.edu/fa/<http://instruction.mtsac.edu/fa/>
Attached you will find a PDF of the flyer that will be delivered to your high schools this week. If you have a list serve of Connect 4 students, we encourage you to please email share the digital version with your students. 
Some students may have already attended a Mt. SAC application workshop and/or completed their Mt. SAC assessment test offered at the high school. Connect 4 students should be given priority consideration for Seniors’ Day Registration. Your Mt.SAC representative may identify students who have participated in Connect 4 workshops conducted at your campus. 
All registrants will receive a confirmation email with FREE Parking information and check-in Information.
