Have an idea of what you would like to study, if not at least an interest. Know what kind of schedule you are able to attend, always ask lots of questions if you don't understand something!

A tip for prospective students is to apply as soon as possible for financial aid. If you know what university to transfer after you should meet with them to see what classes you need to take at Morton College that are transferable. And apply for the scholarships that Morton College offers.

Just be open to learning and growing. Study what YOU are PASSIONATE about, otherwise you will not enjoy your career and life to the fullest. Also, do not let anyone tell you that you can't do it.

The first thing you should do is schedule an appointment with an academic adviser. There, you will be able to explain your career goals that will help them develop a plan for you. In the admissions building, there are office cabinets filled with free college information and choosing a career that are available to take whenever you please. Make use of them because they will be of great help to you.

If one needs any additional administration help beside the rudimentary signing up or dropping a class, make sure that you take it upon yourself to get an answer. Leaving voice mails or even calling the school gets you no where. The staff never have an answer so one is usually sent to 3 different people to get one thing done. As far as the teaching staff, the selection is fair and I have had no complaints whatsoever. In my 5 semesters at Morton, my instructors have been extremely helpful and never made me feel like the course material was boring. I also still keep in contact with some of the instructors on a personal level because class was so fun and the instructors genuinely care about me and my future.
