MassBay to Hold Fall Open House

MassBay Community College will hold its annual Fall Open House on Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on its Wellesley Hills campus.

The signature event on the College’s recruitment calendar, the Fall Open House is an opportunity for prospective students to talk with current students, faculty, and staff to learn about the 70 degree and certificate programs offered at MassBay. Participants will learn about the Massachusetts free community college programs, including eligibility requirements and how to take advantage of this opportunity to earn their degree for free. Additional topics include how MassBay credits transfer to bachelor’s degree programs, free academic support services, information for veterans, free resources available on campus such as emergency grants and free food, information about free mental health counseling, and more. The Open House will feature a self-guided tour of campus and on-the-spot-admissions where staff will help attendees start the process of enrolling for college.

Recently, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and the state legislature have funded free community college for Massachusetts residents who do not hold a bachelor’s degree, regardless of age or income. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), www.fafsa.gov, and be enrolled in an approved program of study for six credits and have earned a high school diploma or the equivalent.
