WHAT IS COLLEGE NOW?

CollegeNow! is a program specifically designed for high school students to jumpstart their college education with half-price tuition. Students enroll into sections taught by Metropolitan Community College faculty on campus or online. Begin the pursuit of an associate degree and/or transfer MCC college credit to other colleges and universities with CollegeNow!

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Nebraska resident high school students who meet course prerequisites.

HOW IS CREDIT EARNED?

College credits earned through CollegeNow! will appear on a student's MCC transcript. MCC credits earned may transfer to other colleges or universities. To learn about transferability at local four-year colleges, please visit the Articulation webpage. It's important to remember that the grades earned while taking a college credit course will count toward the student's college grade point average (GPA) and will be a permanent part of their postsecondary transcript.

If you are a Nebraska High School student graduating in 2022-2025, you are automatically eligible to take credit classes at no tuition cost. This option is only available for the 2022 summer quarter. Students will be responsible for tools, textbooks, and any other associated course fees.

NEXT STEPS AFTER REGISTRATION

The next six steps should be followed after the student has received registration confirmation.

Step 1: Review MCC's New Student Orientation.

Step 2: Create your MyWay credentials.

Step 3: Familiarize yourself with MyWay.

MyWay is where you will access your course CANVAS shell, view your schedule and classroom location, and all other MCC related items.

Step 4: Order textbooks online or in person by following these directions or by visiting MCC's Bookstore.

For the Summer Quarter, $15 will be placed on bookstore accounts for students to use towards supplies (not textbooks). Any supplies purchased over the $15.00 limit will need to be paid for by the student.

Students must go in person to one of the MCC Follett Bookstores between Tuesday, May 31 and Friday, June 17, 2022 to purchase the supplies.

*Students need to provide their MCC ID number to the cashier and indicate they are a high school student charging supplies.

Students need to show a high school ID, a state-issued ID or an MCC ID to purchase the supplies.

Step 5: Know your FERPA rights.

If a student is attending a postsecondary institution - at any age - the rights under FERPA have transferred to the student. If a student under the age of 18 is enrolled in both a high school and a postsecondary institution, the parents still retain the right under FERPA at the high school, however, the postsecondary rights belong to the student.

Students who wish to grant parental or 3rd party access to their educational records may do so by submitting an Authorization to Release Student Information Form to the Records Office.

Step 6: Know the MCC Important Dates.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Locals know that behind the hard-bitten Midwestern work ethic Nebraska is known for, people there harbor artistic souls. This quality is nurtured and brought out into the open by Nebraska's cosmetology programs.

The average tuition rate for the schools that made our list is $16,337, which may seem high until you realize that almost every beauty school in Nebraska also offers generous scholarships to qualified students. Many Nebraska schools also pay homage to that native work ethic by combining a solid business education with high fashion, giving students everything they need to succeed in the style industry.
View details here on the criteria we used to select top schools.
Here you'll find our pick for the top 6 best beauty academies in Nebraska offering cosmetology programs that meet the requirements for state licensure.

Capitol has been training stylists in Omaha since 1923 and has become a local institution. Students participate in educational efforts at local schools, volunteer at nursing homes to providing styling and manicure services, and have in the past conducted fundraisers for natural disaster relief such as Hair for Haiti. Two different scholarship programs are available to help cover tuition costs. G.I. Bill benefits are also accepted form qualified military veterans.

In the midst of the historic architecture of downtown Lincoln, the exposed brick and bright spaces of the CHD classroom and salon combines workmanlike chic with high fashion. The school emphasizes hands-on training, including a unique cutting system that provides haircutting skills far above the minimum state licensing requirements. The practical Midwestern work ethic is present here as well in a comprehensive business skills component to the curriculum. More than half of students graduate from the program on time. VA benefits are accepted and scholarships are available.

Fullen earns a place on our list for having the absolute lowest tuition rate among all the schools on our list. The value represented by their hands-on, creative styling program at such a low cost is enormous! But Fullen is about more than just affordability. The school offers a top-notch business skills education as well, preparing students for management or ownership roles in salons later in their career. A job placement program also helps students find position in the industry after graduation.

Joseph's is known locally and regionally for the "Joseph's Signature Cut" technique, part of the secret behind the school's 80 percent job placement rate. Joseph's also offers students the chance to learn in a cutting-edge salon facility, with clean and modern equipment a step ahead of most local schools. A $2,000 scholarship award is available to all first-time applicants!

Paul Mitchell is a large national chain with a large pool of scholarship money available to potential students. Applicants to the Lincoln branch have complete access to those scholarships, as well as the excellent curriculum developed in coordination with Paul Mitchell stylists working in fashion centers such as New York and Los Angeles. This includes the renowned Paul Mitchell cutting program. But despite the large scale of the company, Paul Mitchell also stresses local community involvement. Their FUNraiser program works with two different local non-profits in Lincoln, Men with Dreams and Kitchen & Outreach, providing money for good causes.

Xenon is proud to be teaching in a field where people are granted the privilege of helping others express themselves. The school's instructors extend this role to helping their students find their own creativity and style and expressing it through cosmetology. A 70 percent on-time graduation rates shows the success they have in reaching their students. The academy offers scholarships for deserving applicants.
