Register for Classes

Registration is an important part of a student's academic process. Therefore, it is the policy of the College to devote as much time as is necessary for pre-registration and registration advising to help students select and pursue an educational program in harmony with their abilities and goals.

Students are responsible for reading the Morgan Community College catalog and studying the curriculum guide for their major. The MCC Catalog is accessible on this Web or the printed version is available from Student Services and all MCC Centers. Students are also responsible for checking their program periodically to determine whether or not they are fulfilling all course requirements. If students have any questions regarding their academic status at any time, they are invited to check with their academic advisor or the Registrar.

Classification of Students
Students registered for 12 credit hours or more are considered to be full-time students.  Anyone taking fewer hours is a part-time student.
A student's class standing is determined by the total semester hours he or she has completed.

Freshman - 1 to 30 semester credits
Sophomore - 31 to 60 semester credits

Maximum Course Load
A course load, determined by students and their advisors, may not exceed twenty (20) credit hours per term.  Certain occupational programs approved by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education may require students to take up to twenty-four (24) credit hours per term.  For these programs students are allowed to take all necessary courses.  In no case may a course load exceed twenty-four (24) credit hours per term except by written approval of the Instructional Deans or the area Center Directors at or before the time of registration.

Auditing Courses
Students may elect to attend a class but not receive credit by declaring at registration that they choose to audit the course.  No credit will be granted toward a degree or certificate although the instructional standards are the same as for students taking the course for credit. A student may change from audit to credit or from credit to audit only during the designated add period each semester.  Unusual circumstances should be referred to the Registrar.  Exemptions from this policy must be approved by the Instruction Deans with changes forwarded to the Registrar.

Veterans
The College's Office of Veteran Affairs, located in the Financial Aid Office, provides the eligible veteran and/or dependent with Veteran Administration forms used in applying for a program of education, information regarding institutional and V.A. policies, and requirements for receipt of benefits.

Veterans must submit official transcripts of grades for any previous college education when submitting their application for admission to Morgan Community College.  Failure to provide this institution with a written record may result in serious delay in educational benefits.  For more information on Veterans, contact the Financial Aid Office.
