Mid Plains Community College

What Mid Plains Community College does

Mid-Plains Community College (MPCC) is a public two-year community college serving an 18-county region in west-central Nebraska. The institution consolidates McCook Community College (founded 1926, celebrating its centennial in September 2026) and North Platte Community College as its two principal campuses, supported by five additional satellite sites in Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala, Valentine, and Benkelman. MPCC delivers Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of General Studies, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Applied Science degrees, diplomas, and certificates across 50+ academic programs spanning transfer pathways, health sciences (nursing, dental assisting, medical lab tech, EMT-Paramedic), and skilled trades (welding, HVAC, electrical, diesel, auto body, building construction). The college also offers non-credit community programming through CDL training, GED/ESL, GAP Assistance, the Hormel Entrepreneurship Competition, and the local/online Community Classes catalog.

MPCC's technology stack is a composed of third-party managed platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: the Jenzabar JICS-powered CampusWeb student portal (with 50+ FormFlow-driven self-service forms for admissions, FERPA releases, scholarship applications, room requests, and security logs), the Instructure Canvas LMS, Microsoft 365 SSO via MyMPCC, DocuSign/PowerForms for digital signatures, the BibliU Bookstore, Cashnet/TouchNet for payments, AwardSpring for scholarships, NetPartner for financial aid, SysAid for IT help desk, and Maxient for Title IX and conduct reporting. An in-development native mobile app is in beta. Student safety is supported by a CARE Team built on the NABITA 20-Questions Supplemental Flowchart and NaBITA Risk Rubric, integrated with Maxient incident reporting.

Revenue mechanics combine state appropriations (per Nebraska Revised Statute 13-406), residency-tiered tuition (in-state NE, border-state CO/KS/SD/WY, out-of-state), federal Title IV aid via FAFSA, program and course fees, on-campus housing and dining (North Platte apartments, McCook dormitory, FreshIdeas Food Service), donations through the McCook College Foundation and NPCC Foundation, the annual Classic Car Raffle, and workforce/community non-credit training. The customer base is a distributed pool of high-school dual-credit students, degree-seeking traditional and adult learners, transfer students, international students, veterans and active-duty military, and community/workforce learners, with no single customer concentration.
