academic program upon admission.

Note: Non-award seeking adult students and students who have earned 12 or more hours toward their award may register on-line. Students should confer with their advisors to identify course selections. Once schedules are approved, advisors will clear students to register on-line by accessing Campus Connect on the College’s web-site. Students should:

1. Check the printed or on-line schedule of classes for dates and times of registration.

2. Contact the Financial Aid Office, if they are scholarship or grant recipients or eligible for tuition waivers.

3. Take care of all outstanding financial obligations from prior semesters. Students with debts to the College, overdue library books, or missing admission documents will not be allowed to re-enroll until those obligations are met.

4. Confer with an academic advisor and either
a. complete a Class Schedule/Registration form, have the advisor enter the approved courses into the computer, and take the completed and signed Class Schedule/Registration form to the Registrar’s Office to obtain a class schedule and tuition statement; or
b. obtain advisor approval to register on-line.

5. Pay all tuition and fees indicated on the tuition statement by the payment deadline.

Prerequisites
A prerequisite is a requirement that must be fulfilled prior to enrolling in a specific course. Students should check the course descriptions on pages 153-177 of the catalog to be sure they have met course prerequisites prior to attempting to register for classes. Most courses at MSCC require students to complete Developmental English and Developmental Reading or to have placement scores which exempt them from these courses. Other prerequisites are listed in the course descriptions.

Repeating a Course
A student who has received a grade of “D” or “F” for a course may repeat the course in an attempt to improve the grade. The grade earned the last time the course is taken will be the final grade. Only that grade will be considered in computing the grade-point average; however, previous grades will still appear on the student’s transcript.

Enrollment Procedures
Adding Classes After the First Official Day of Class
Students may add classes within the period specified in the Academic Calendar. They must obtain an Add/Drop form from the Learning Success Center, obtain the required approvals listed on the form, take the approved form to the Registrar’s Office for course entry, and pay the tuition charge for the additional hours as well as any associated course fees. Students may not add courses on-line after the official first day of classes as listed in the Academic Calendar.

Changing Course Sections
Students who need to change sections of a course after the Last Day to Add, as listed in the Academic Calendar, must obtain an Add/Drop form from the Learning Success Center and obtain approvals from both the instructors of the section they wish to drop and of the section they wish to add, as well as the approval of the Dean of Learning and Instruction. Approved forms must be submitted to the Registrar’s office to officially record the change, and the Course Schedule Change fee must be paid to the Finance Office for any schedule changes after the Official Enrollment Day as listed in the Academic Calendar. Generally changes in section are approved only for documented reasons such as changes in work schedules or family emergencies. When such section changes are approved, grades earned in the first section of enrollment will be transferred to the new section.

Changing Personal Data
Students must keep the Registrar’s Office informed of any changes in name, address, telephone number, emergency contact or choice of academic program. Change of Information forms are available in the Registrar’s Office.
Having current information on file ensures that grades and notices are mailed to the correct address, that students can be contacted by instructors or other College personnel when necessary, and that their credits are being applied to the appropriate program.

Enrollment Requirements
For Award-Seeking Students
The Registrar’s Office at Mid-South Community College will evaluate the transcripts of all students graduating after May 2002, from Arkansas high schools, out-of-state high schools, home schooling, and private high schools, as well as GED recipients, for the purpose of granting them conditional or unconditional enrollment status. The Registrar's Office will inform students of their enrollment status in writing prior to their initial enrollment in courses.
All award-seeking and transient students are required to provide official transcripts or other official notification of eligibility for MSCC courses to the Registrar’s Office. Those who do not have official documents on file at the time of registration for classes may be conditionally enrolled pending receipt of this documentation within 30 days of enrollment.
Unconditional Enrollment of Award-Seeking Students
Award-seeking students must have completed the Arkansas core high school curriculum with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and meet academic placement requirements to be granted unconditional enrollment status at Mid-South Community College. Students’ grade point averages as computed by their high schools (converted to a 4.0 scale if necessary) will be used.
Students who receive a GED or who are graduates of home schooling or private high schools after May 1, 2002, must have a minimum composite score of 19 on the American College Test (ACT). Out-of-state students must have completed the equivalent of the Arkansas high school core curriculum with a minimum GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
