MSVCC Policies and Procedures Manual
Section 3: Drop/Add Period
Students can drop and/or add MSVCC courses only within the allowed timeframe: • 8-week and 15 week terms – First 2 days of term • 3-week and 4 week terms – First day of term only
Section 4: Census Date
According to the Community and Junior College Appropriation bill,
Academic, Technical, Vocational, Associate Degree Nursing and Associate Degree Allied Health funds shall be disbursed on the basis of prior year full-time equivalency (FTE) of hours generated during the summer, fall and spring semester for each public community and junior college student actually enrolled and in attendance the last day of the sixth week of each semester, or its equivalent, counting only students who reside within the State of Mississippi. However, associate degree nursing students who reside outside the State of Mississippi may be counted for pay purposes. Courses that meet for fewer than the number of weeks in the regular, traditional semester (16-weeks) shall utilize a 33% calculation to establish the equivalent. Census date, also referred to as the cut-off date, is the date at which students must be enrolled and in attendance in order to be counted for pay purposes.
The following table depicts the census date and attendance monitoring that is required for MSVCC courses.
