Registration for current students begins Monday, April 13, 2026 on a staggered schedule based on student classification. Once your registration time opens, you may register at any time, though periodic system maintenance may temporarily interrupt access.

Your classification at the end of the Fall 2025 semester determines your registration date. You can view your classification in your Student Profile in Banner.

New and Re-admitted Students
Registration for new undergraduate students begins one week after registration opens for current students in Summer and Spring. Fall registration begins at assigned orientation. Registration for new graduate students begins the day registration opens for current students.

Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE)

Mississippi College’s Writing Proficiency Exam is required for all undergraduate students. Students needing to take the exam should register for a section of ENG 099 early, as space is limited.

Exam locations vary. Students should register as early as possible to secure a spot.

Withdrawal from the University

Students who choose not to attend or who wish to withdraw from the semester must initiate the withdrawal through their MyMC account.

Refund Policy Upon Total Withdrawal from the University

Note: All special and course fees are not refundable upon withdrawal.

Tuition Refund for Dropped Courses

Students may make schedule changes online without a fee until the deadline published in the Academic Calendar. After that date, schedule changes must be completed by the Office of the Registrar and may incur a $30.00 late schedule change fee.

Refund / Repayment Policy and Financial Aid

If a refund is owed under the school’s refund policy and the student received Title IV funds, excluding Federal Work Study, a federally mandated formula will determine the amount that must be returned to each applicable program. The full refund policy can be found in the Mississippi College catalog.

FERPA

Under FERPA, students enrolled in post-secondary education have the right to access and review their educational records as defined by law. Except for information classified as directory information, the University will not release records without student consent.

• Students may submit a request to withhold information from the Student Directory.
• Students are encouraged to complete a consent form to authorize the release of personal and/or academic information to designated individuals.
• Visit the Student Privacy page for more details.
