Connect with Metropolitan College

We are excited you want to learn more about attending college and graduating debt free with our program. We know you may have questions, so we invite you to connect with us.

Visit A Metropolitan College Office

Each Metropolitan College (MC) office has a MC Student Success Counselor available to answer your questions Monday through Thursday. While no appointment is required, you are welcome to call our office (UofL: 502-852-2749 and JCTC: 502-213-4520) to ensure a counselor is ready to meet with you as soon as you arrive. Our MC Get Started Checklist may also be helpful in answering your questions. Print our Metropolitan College Program Overview to learn more.

Students are encouraged, but not required, to request a June 2023 start date. June start times provide an opportunity to acclimate to third shift work and sign a MC agreement to defer tuition before the tuition payment deadline. June is also the time that graduates transition out of employment and new MC students transition in during the month of June.

Connect with a UPS Recruiter

If you are interested in learning more about UPS employment, or you need assistance navigating the UPS employment process to become a MC eligible employee, connect with a UPS recruiter at your preferred institution.

Please Note:  UPS is in the process of updating the employee application system and during this time the application will be unavailable. We expect the application to be available after June 15.
