The new Hannelly One Stop Enrollment Center and the new Student Union at Phoenix College were officially launched during a special ceremony on Jan. 26.

    Phoenix College, located at 1202 W. Thomas Road, is the oldest campus among all Maricopa Community College schools. The new One Stop Enrollment Center has everything students  need to experience a streamlined registration process: Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, Advisement, Recruitment & Retention, International Education, Cashiers Office and the NAU/ASU Transfer Offices. There will be personnel on hand to assist students as well as 15 my.maricopa.edu self-serve computers available for student use.

    A new high-tech queuing system will provide students with notification of their place in line on numerous monitors located in campus buildings. They will also receive texts to their mobile phones indicating  their turn is coming up.

The 10,000-square-foot renovated Student Union, opened on Jan. 3, provides offices and conference rooms for club and student leadership groups and features a game room, a coffee bar serving Starbucks coffee, laptop recharging stations, computer usage areas, large video screens and an outdoor patio slated to be used for campus events.

    This new-and-improved version of the Bear’s Den is designed for relaxing and socializing as well as studying. A space referred to as an academic center will give students a chance to work on projects in a group setting using a large screen monitor.
