Catalog Updates and Changes

This catalog is a "live" document and will be updated as changes occur. Additions, deletions and other changes may occur due to state, system, or college regulations, or accreditation requirements.

Which Catalog to Use

This catalog is effective fall semester 2017. First-time students at Morgan Community College and former MCC students who are returning after not having attended during the past 12 months should use this catalog. A continuing student is subject to the requirements of the catalog that was in effect when first registered at MCC or in some later catalog if the student changed his/her program of study at any time after that initial registration.

Additions, Changes, Deletions, and Corrections to this Catalog

Morgan Community College 'publishes' the annual online catalog with incorporated addendum changes throughout the academic year.

You can view additions, changes, deletions, and corrections have been approved since this catalog was initially generated on March 1, 2017 in the 'Addendum'. See the appropriate section within the catalog body for the complete revised text of any addition, change, or correction.

Deletions are noted in the catalog addendum and can be referenced as originally published in an 'original' (.pdf) version of the catalog, but deletions will not show in the online "live" version of the catalog.  If you have questions regarding deletions or any other item change in the catalog please feel free to contact us.

 Advising & Assessment
   
Added: Deadlines to Change Program/Major:
A student may change a program/major by submitting a 'Student Records Change' form to the Student Services Office or MCC Center by the listed census/drop deadline for 15-week courses for Fall and Spring terms. Summer term changes must be made by the 10-week course census/drop deadline. Changing a program of study/major may result in a change in degree/certificate requirements and may affect financial aid eligibility, so it is recommended that students consult an academic advisor prior to making a change.

PREFERRED FIRST NAME

 Updated wording to include "first" name in section text, as it had been misconstrued to be preferred name (first, middle, and/or last).  Intent and policy is students to be able to indicate a preferred FIRST name which will appear on the class roster so faculty can call role or refer to the student by a 'preferred' first name as opposed to the official first name in student records.   Student academic records, transcripts, etc. are NOT affected by this policy.
