The public is invited to attend an Information and Registration Session from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at SC4's M-TEC Center, located at the corner of Erie and Glenwood streets in Port Huron. Admissions representatives, program advisors and financial aid specialists will be on hand. Also available during the session will be the "instant admission" service, to ensure students do not have endure a lengthy application process. "Instant admission" will be offered to students who complete an application and pay the $30 enrollment fee by check or money order during the information session.
