NORTHLAND COMMUNITY & TECHNICAL COLLEGE IS OFFERING ONE-STOP ENROLLMENT DAYS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AS THE FALL SEMESTER APPROACHES.
THE EVENTS WILL BE HELD AT NORTHLAND’S EAST GRAND FORKS, THIEF RIVER FALLS, AND WARROAD LOCATIONS AND ARE DESIGNED TO SIMPLIFY THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO COMPLETE MULTIPLE STEPS IN A SINGLE VISIT. NO APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED, AND STUDENTS CAN ATTEND DURING ANY SCHEDULED SESSION.
“ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS FOR STUDENTS IS NOT KNOWING WHERE TO START OR FEELING LIKE THEY HAVE TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT ON THEIR OWN,” SAID ALYSSA MONTGOMERY, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS AND RECRUITMENT AT NORTHLAND. “WITH ONE-STOP ENROLLMENT DAYS, STUDENTS CAN WALK IN AND GET THE HELP THEY NEED—WHETHER THEY’RE EXPLORING THEIR OPTIONS, HAVE ALREADY APPLIED, OR JUST NEED HELP REGISTERING FOR CLASSES.”
THE EVENTS ARE OPEN TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS, APPLICANTS, AND CURRENT STUDENTS SEEKING ASSISTANCE WITH ENROLLMENT. DURING THEIR VISIT, ATTENDEES CAN WORK ONE-ON-ONE WITH STAFF TO COMPLETE KEY STEPS SUCH AS:
- APPLYING FOR ADMISSION
- FILING THE FAFSA AND EXPLORING FINANCIAL AID OPTIONS
- MEETING WITH AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR
- REGISTERING FOR CLASSES
- REVIEWING SCHOLARSHIPS AND PAYMENT OPTIONS
- LEARNING ABOUT PROGRAMS, SERVICES, AND CAMPUS RESOURCES
- TAKING A CAMPUS TOUR AND OBTAINING A STUDENT ID
ONE-STOP ENROLLMENT DAYS WILL BE OFFERED ON SELECT DATES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, NOW THROUGH MID-AUGUST. AN EXTENDED ENROLLMENT WEEK IS ALSO SCHEDULED FOR AUG. 17–21
THE MINNESOTA DNR WILL BEHOLDING A MEDIA EVENT TODAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE FEATURES AND ACCESSABILITY OF TH ENEW ELECTRONIC LICESNING SYSTEM FOR HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSES. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE ELS – THE FISHING AND HUNTING LICENSE MODULE – WILL GO LIVE, REPLACING A SYSTEM THAT HAS SERVED THE STATE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS. THE NEW ELS OFFERS MORE FLEXIBILITY, WITH THREE WAYS TO BUY A LICENSE (MOBILE APP, ONLINE, OR IN-PERSON FROM A LICENSE AGENT) AND THREE WAYS TO CARRY IT (STORED IN THE APP, PDF, OR PAPER).
THE ROSEAU ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOUSING
ISSUES IN THE CITY. APARTMENT BUILDINGS ARE NEARLY FULLY OCCUPIED, AND
THERE ARE JUST TWO CITY-OWNED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING LOTS CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THERE IS A COMPLETION NEARING ON HOME IN THE NORTHSTAR NEIGHBORS LAND TRUST, AND CITY OFFICIALS ANTICIPATE THOSE SELLING QUICKLY.
SOURCES SAY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL NOT SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY FOR VANCE BOELTER. THAT DECISION COMES ALMOST A YEAR AFTER THE SHOOTING THAT KILLED MINNESOTA SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MELISSA HORTMAN AND HER HUSBAND, MARK. BOELTER HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO THE SIX FEDERAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST HIM. HE ALSO FACES STATE CHARGES FOR THE SHOOTINGS. HIS NEXT HEARING IN FEDERAL COURT IS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 16.
THE LIFE OF A CONSERVATION OFFICER IS NEVER BORING. FROM THIS WEEK’S REPORTS THEY CONTINUE TO REPORT SPOTTY FISHING SUCCESS ON LAKE OF THE WOODS AND A BUSY WEEK ON THE RED LAKE RIVER FOR BOTH FISHING AND KAYAKS. THERE WERE OVER LIMITS AND EXTRA LINE VIOLATIONS, ALONG WITH ILLEGAL LENGTH FISH AND A TRANSPORTING OF ZEBRA MUSSELS INSTANCE. OUT OF THE ORDINARY, MALLARD DUCKLINGS WERE REPORTED ON THE SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY 11 AFTER THE MOTHER HAD BEEN HIT BY A CAR. THREE SURVIVORS WERE TRANSPORTED TO REHAB IN WARROAD.
