To ensure adequate time for review and approvals, development of terms within the ET, sufficient time for colleges to build and publish course offerings, and inclusion of MSVCC dates into local publications, the process for the MSVCC calendar is initiated two years beforehand. • During the fall semester two years before the academic year of implementation, the MSVCC Administrative Committee drafts the calendar using Section 4.5 Control Dates and 4.6 Guidelines of this manual. • During the following spring, the MELA reviews and approves the drafted calendar. • Upon approval by the MELA, the MSVCC President submits the calendar to the Academic Officers Association (AOA) during their Spring AOA meeting. • The AOA reviews the calendar and submits suggested revisions to the MELA. • If revisions are required, the Administrative Committee will make necessary revisions and submit them to the MELA for approval. • If no revisions are required, the AOA will vote on the MSVCC calendar during their Summer AOA Meeting. • The President will notify the MELA of the outcome of action taken by the AOA. • Upon approval by the AOA, the Assistant Executive Director for eLearning & Instructional Technology will provide the college Presidents with a finalized draft of the MSVCC Calendar for review at the next available MACC meeting. • Upon approval by the MACC, the MCCB Instructional Design Specialist will publish the MSVCC Calendar within the MELA Canvas Course, build the control dates within the ET, and notify the MELA upon completion. • The MELA may begin developing course offerings within the ET in advance of the common state-wide MSVCC registration date. MSVCC student enrollment will begin and end on the common dates as published in the approved annual calendar. The colleges may, before the statewide enrollment date, enroll local students in their locally provided online courses. Students cannot enroll into courses offered by other colleges until the statewide enrollment period begins.
