Academic advisement

Academic advisors are generally the first point of contact for new students. Advisors also assist students with identifying and developing an educational plan to support their academic, career, and personal life goals. They help connect students to valuable resources and information about MCC's programs, services, policies, and procedures and work collaboratively with students, program faculty members, and other College officials.

Assessment services

The COMPASS basic skills assessment test is available at each MCC Testing Services location. Students participate in basic skills assessments in reading, writing, English, science, and mathematics. Academic Resource Centers, Math Centers, and Writing Centers provide assistance and preparation for placement tests. Assessment results are needed for new students so they can be placed in courses properly. An assessment test may be needed prior to registering for classes. Visit www.mccneb.edu/testing for more information.

Disability Support Services

MCC is committed to providing appropriate services and accommodations for any student with a documented disability through Disability Support Services. To be eligible for services, students must identify themselves to DSS and provide documentation of their disability. Once appropriate documentation is received, DSS works with students to determine reasonable accommodations. These accommodations may not always be the same as the student received in high school or at another college or university. DSS counselors are available to assist students with disabilities on an appointment-based system. Appointments may be made by contacting any Student Services office.

Change of registration

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

• On-campus courses may be added after the first class session with instructor approval. Forms are available in Student Services. This does not apply to online courses.
• Changes and refunds are effective on the date the request is received. The eligibility and amount for a refund is automatically calculated by the date of the withdrawal.
• 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 that 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 students.
• Students receiving financial aid are advised to speak with a financial aid representative when dropping classes after the start of the quarter.

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 cancelled prior to the first class meeting, and the students notified. Students enrolled in a cancelled course receive a full refund.
