Welcome to the MJC Winter Intersession Web Site

This site contains data gathered by a task force formed in fall of 2007 to research whether a winter intersession might be a useful enrollment management tool. The idea was never implemented. This is not because the college decided it was not a good idea, but because enrollment increased before the research ended. Making such a drastic change to the college schedule when our enrollment was no longer declining was simply not an avenue the college wished to explore any longer.
