Three Easy Steps

Starting your college journey at Marshalltown Community College (MCC) is straightforward. You're just three steps away from beginning your journey!

Here's how to get started:

Apply

  • This is the first step for all students.
  • This is all we need if you’re just taking a few classes to transfer back to your primary college, or if you’re taking a few courses for personal interest.
  • Note: If you're an international student, the process looks a bit different. Learn more on our international students page.

  • Required: If you're planning to complete an MCC diploma or degree program, and/or you're applying for any financial aid.
  • High School/HSED: High School/HSED: Whether you are still enrolled in high school or have already graduated we need your official transcript. Reach out to your high school and have them send this to mccinfo@iavalley.edu. For the transcript to be official it must be sent directly from the high school.
  • College Transcripts: We'll need an official transcript from each college you've previously attended, complete with that college's seal. Your previous college can send these directly to our admissions office. We'll look over your previous transcripts and apply any applicable coursework toward your MCC degree!

  • We use these scores to place students in the right classes – these are NOT admissions tests.
  • Check with your high school: See whether your ACT or SAT score is listed on your high school transcript. If so, you're all set – we'll receive your score when we receive your transcript in step 2. If your ACT score isn't available from your high school you can request it  to be sent to us from the ACT website.
  • If you need to take the Accuplacer, you can take it for free at MCC. Call (641)844-5710 to schedule an appointment. If you live out of state and need a voucher for Accuplacer we can send you one to take the test closer to home.
