Registration
Courses are offered as outlined in each program area. Each student is required to officially register for each course they plan to attend. Registration is held at designated times each term as indicated in the Academic Calendar [Direct link: https://www.montgomery.edu/academic-calendar/]. Student Services will notify new applicants concerning times and other special registration procedures. Registration is complete when all tuition and fees are paid or deferred by the Business Office. No person may participate in or attend any course unless they are officially registered. Students attending class for which they are not officially registered will receive neither grade nor semester hour credit for the course. Classes missed due to late registration will be counted as absences.
Registration can occur with a Success Navigator or program Advisor or through the Self Service Portal. For additional information please contact a Success Navigator, Program Advisor, or a Student Services staff member.
Faculty Advisors
When students declare a program of study, they will be assigned a Success Navigator/Faculty Advisor. The Success Navigator or Faculty Advisor will:
- Provide general information on MCC’s policies, procedures, services, and programs.
- Assist in selecting goals, courses, and opportunities that appeal to the student’s interests and abilities.
- Provide specific information regarding programs/majors.
- Assist in exploring possible outcomes of those choices and/or direction.
- Offer recommendations and support.
- Answer questions and address concerns related to academic and career goals.
- Plan the student’s class schedule and register the student for classes.
- Monitor the student’s academic progress.
All full-time faculty members and Success Navigators are on campus throughout the week during Fall and Spring semesters and are available during scheduled office hours or by scheduling appointments directly to assist students and advisees.
