When to Register

Registration at Muskegon Community College takes place three times a year, starting in April for the fall semester, November for the winter semester, and March for the summer session. The fall and winter semesters are 15 weeks in length and the summer session is 12 weeks in length.  The summer session generally begins in May and is offered with a variety of start and ending dates. Register as soon as you are eligible to help ensure your place in the classes you desire. To ensure you are eligible to register, make sure you have:

*Been admitted or readmitted to Muskegon Community College

*Cleared all financial holds

*Completed all placement tests or submitted appropriate ACT, SAT or MME scores-Have completed all course prerequisites

*Completed new student orientation

Priority Registration is available exclusively to currently enrolled students. Using the MyMCC, current students have the first opportunity to select courses before registration is open to other individuals. Registration is based on a priority system that allows you to begin registration according to the number of total MCC credit hours completed.  Priority begins with students who have earned the most MCC credit hours and ends with the students with the least MCC credit hours. A few weeks before priority registration begins, students will be emailed with their priority registration start times. You may register starting at your assigned time or after, but not before.

Open Registration is available to all students after the last day of priority registration. This includes new students and those not enrolled in the current semester.

Drop Deadlines & Instructions

Drop Deadlines and Instructions

Students will receive a 100% refund when dropping a class by the published “Drop/Refund Deadline,” which varies depending on the class’s length and start-date. When dropping a class by the “Drop/Refund” deadline, no grade is assigned, and the class will not appear on the student’s MCC transcript.

When withdrawing from a class by the “Withdrawal Deadline,” which varies depending on the class’s length and end-date, a “W” grade is assigned and will appear on the student’s MCC transcript.

Course Delivery Methods

Below are to videos with more information about the different course delivery options:

Repeated Courses

The Muskegon Community College Course Repeat Rule was developed to provide fair access to classes. It allows the student to repeat the course once. Instructor permission is required to take a course more than twice.

To repeat a course, a student must reregister and pay all necessary fees. Each grade received will appear on a student’s record, but only the last grade awarded is used in computing a GPA. Keep in mind that if you retake a class and receive a lower grade, the last grade is still the one that counts. When transferring to another college or university, you may be held accountable for all attempts and grades associated with a course taken at Muskegon Community College.
