Enrollment Orientation Days

Enrollment Day is one of the biggest days for a high school senior as you prepare for college. We are bringing all of the elements that we would have in an on-campus Enrollment Orientation, to you online.

• Enroll in classes
• Engage with other students
• Interact with McPherson College staff and faculty
• Workshops will be provided for both students and families on:
  • Student Life at McPherson College
  • Understanding your bill
  • Questions about Financial Aid
  • How can I prepared for college over the summer?

We are unable to have you visit campus now, but we hope to have a Summer Enrollment Preview Bash later for you to visit campus, get to know other students and ask any final questions.
