Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is my current GPA? (Grade Point Average)
Cumulative averages are determined solely on the basis of
points and credits earned at MCC. They are calculated by dividing the
total of each semester's quality points by the total of each semester's
credits.
2. My professor said he turned in a grade change for
me. Why isn't the change on my records?
Processing of grade changes is usually done in a 24-hour
turnaround time upon the receipt of the grade change in the Office of
Records and Registration. Check with your professor to be sure he/she
submitted it.
3. Why do I have to get a green slip from my professor
when I'm just changing sections?
Once the add period has ended, students need to request
permission to be admitted into courses even if it is only a section
change. If permission is given by the instructor, a "green slip" will be
signed and given to the student by the instructor. Green slips must also
be signed by the Department Chairperson. Since policy on green slips
differs among departments, students should contact the faculty member or
department chair regarding their policy.
4. What if I'm not sure what I want to do?
MCC offers several resources to help you find out about your own
talents and gather information on various career options. These free
services are available to all MCC students. Just call the Counseling
Center for details at 292-2030 or call/visit the Career Center at
292-2248, Bldg. 3-108.
5. Getting a degree is a lot of work. Is it worth it?
The latest employment trends indicate that those who have
an associate's degree will earn 30% more than those with only their high
school diplomas. Whether it's just a few classes or an entire degree,
education can make you more marketable and more promotable. To continue to
learn and grow can significantly enrich your life experience.
6. Can I afford it?
Monroe Community College offers you the best opportunity
in terms of customer satisfaction and cost. Transfer students can
significantly reduce the cost of a four year degree by completing their
freshman and sophomore years at MCC. Financial aid and scholarships are
available to those who qualify.
The real question is, can you afford NOT to go to school.
Today, education gives you an edge on the job market. In an increasingly
competitive and more technologically complex work environment, the average
person cannot expect to get ahead without some additional training or a
college degree.
7. How can I get my name on a Waitlist for a closed
course?
(MCC Wait List FAQs)
Some courses offer a Waitlist to students that wish to
enroll for a particular course but, for now, it is full. Simply ask the
person helping you register to place you on the list - it is that simple!
If you are using the WEB to register, click on the Add/Drop dropdown menu
and highlight the word Waitlist. You will be notified if you are enrolled
in the class. Students may wait list for courses that have reached their
maximum enrollment capacity. As seats become available in courses,
students are moved from a wait list status to an enrolled status. If you
choose to take advantage of the wait list option, it is your
responsibility to check your schedule regularly to track when you have
moved from the wait list to the course roster. If you are no longer
interested in the wait listed course, please remove your name from the
waitlist through the web or by completing a drop/add slip. A student is
financially responsible for all tuition and fees after the registration
has been processed. Failure to know your registration status is not a
valid reason for a refund. |
