MCC and CMU Central Bound Signing
Muskegon Community College (MCC) and Central Michigan University (CMU) plan to announce a new partnership Monday, November 9, 2026, at 2pm that is designed to help more students pursue a bachelor’s degree through an innovative dual-admission and co-enrollment program.
The announcement and signing ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. in Gerber Lounge, located in the lobby of MCC’s main building at 221 S. Quarterline Road in Muskegon.
Known as “Central Bound,” students can establish their connection to Central Michigan University while beginning their education at Muskegon Community College. Participants may complete up to two years of coursework at MCC before continuing at CMU or enroll in classes at both simultaneously. Regardless of which path they choose, students are recognized as CMU Chippewas from the beginning and can access university services and resources throughout their academic journey.
Students who participate in Central Bound will apply to both MCC and CMU and will have access to financial aid throughout their academic careers. The program is available to both prospective students and those already enrolled at either school.
