Give it the ol’ college try. That’s what Madison Area Technical College is telling prospective students through a new program allowing them to sample a week of classes for free at the beginning of a school term.
Don’t like the courses? Students who drop within the week get a full refund — something previously unavailable through the college’s tuition refund policy. The “College Try” program is one of several strategies MATC, also known as Madison College, is trying to encourage students to enroll after seeing about 10% fewer students last semester compared with the fall of 2019.
