New students will be working with the Registrar to enroll in their first-trimester courses.  Undergraduate students who need support enrolling in courses and those interested in taking Continuing Education courses, should schedule an appointment with the Registrar. 

The courses students are enrolled in will automatically activate on the first day of the trimester according to their Course Enrollment Schedule.  Be sure to check prerequisites in the Course Catalog and the Projected Enrollment Schedule (link below) for when courses are offered.

Pass/Fail Grade Option for Students

Pass/fail grading option is an alternative to the standard letter grade system.  The pass/fail grading option is instituted at MCU to encourage students to take classes outside their area of expertise to broaden their midwifery education.

If the pass/fail grade option is selected by a student, a passing grade is included in their credits completed, but the class grade does not impact their GPA. However, it is important to be aware that a failing grade DOES get calculated as 0.00 into their GPA and credits attempted.  As such MCU would recommend a withdrawal from classes where the student does not anticipate a passing grade.

Before submitting a request, please review the policy details located in the Student Handbook.

New Phase Alignment/Specialization

The 2023-2024 Academic year will begin with a new alignment between didactic classes and phases. All incoming students from Fall 2023 onwards will be enrolled with the new phase requirements. Students enrolled at MCU prior to Fall 2023 will have the opportunity to transfer to the new requirements if they choose with the application opening in Summer 2023 the term prior to the release of the program.

There will be reminders and more information coming during the Summer term. If you have any immediate questions please contact your student council or your house mentor.

Continuing Education

MCU’s continuing education option is for those who:  

  • Want to take a few classes, but do not want to be obligated to a degree program. 
  • Practicing midwives who wish to supplement their education or obtain CEUs  
  • Want to discover if distance education is right for them.   

We also offer the Academy of Continuing Education modules which are relevant for recertification requirements for CPMs, doulas, and childbirth educators. Most of the modules include MEAC-approved CEUs.  

To take courses on your time at your own pace and earn MEAC CEUs, visit our Academy of Continuing Education (ACE). Our ACE program has offerings on a variety of topics including pharmacology courses.

For additional information on continuing education classes taken within a 15-week trimester, and to enroll in courses, email our Registrar or schedule an appointment during the open enrollment period for the term in which you are applying.
