MSVCC Policies and Procedures Manual

Chapter 1

Executive Summary

Goal of the MSVCC

The goal of the MSVCC is to serve the online course needs of the 15 community and junior college districts in the State of Mississippi and to serve the potential community college students.

 Online courses are delivered over the Internet with no ground-base component (exclusive of proctored exams). For the purposes of this policy, courses with classroom-based components (hybrid courses) are not considered online.

 MSVCC courses are available to all community college students.

 The MSVCC home page will display a “master pick list” of all online courses offered by the colleges.

 The appropriate college dean will choose courses to offer on the local level.

 The appropriate college dean may expand the initial course list from within the master pick list.

Accounting for Audit Purposes

Students enrolled in courses where instruction is delivered via eLearning technologies will be counted for audit purposes the same as that for students enrolled via traditional methods, with the following stipulation.
