Orientation

MCC student orientation introduces students to College services and programs that support their educational and personal goals. Orientation provides information on academic programs, advising and course scheduling, paying for college, campus safety, student support services, and tips for student success. All new credit students participate in orientation as one of their next steps in becoming a MCC student. Orientation consists of six interactive segments and embedded quizzes. At the successful completion of all quizzes, students receive a certificate of completion.For more information, go to mccneb.edu/Prospective-Students/Resources/MCC-Student-Orientation.aspx.

Change of Registration

The College provides specific timelines each quarter to change schedules. The following guidelines apply to course registration changes:

  • Many courses allow late registration, but the dates and process varies by program and courses. Please contact the Academic Dean's office based on the course. 
  • Changes and refunds are effective on the date the request is received. The amount for a refund is automatically calculated by the date of the withdrawal. Students may view potential refunds by locating the course on the online credit schedule located on the MCC homepage and clicking Important Dates.
  • Students may withdraw from a course any time prior to the last day to drop a class section.
  • Withdrawing from a course within the designated drop period results in a W, which is recorded on the student’s permanent record.
  • Failure to withdraw from a class may result in the assignment of an F grade to the student’s permanent record.
  • Schedule changes are the responsibility of the student. Non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal or relieve a student of the financial obligation of tuition.
  • F-1 international students should contact International Student Services before dropping below 12 credit hours.
  • Students receiving financial aid are advised to confirm their program of study and eligible coursework before making registration changes. All changes must be complete before the census date of the quarter to be included in eligible credits for financial aid.

Schedule changes are the responsibility of the student.  The changes must follow College procedures, refund policies, and deadlines at all times. Academic advisors and/or the Contact Center are available to assist students with schedule changes.

Course Cancellations

The College may find it necessary to cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment or other extenuating circumstances. Whenever possible, the course is canceled prior to the first class meeting, and the students are notified. Students enrolled in a canceled course receive a full refund.

Books and Materials

Students are expected to obtain books, supplies, and materials needed for classes. In addition, some programs require the purchase of special items (tools, a camera, etc.).  A complete listing of special costs is available at the campus bookstores or online at mccneb.edu/Prospective-Students/Resources/Bookstore.aspx.  Students can also explore the textbook exchange at mccneb.edu/bookexch.
