For additional details see the information provided beneath the title Course Textbooks. Course fees are due and payable upon registration. Students withdrawing from a course after registration are subject to specific fiscal penalties which are detailed in the Operational Guidelines, a supplemental publication that is available to the students.
Students participating in the off-campus video program register through one of the sites.
Classes at that site receive video tapes of course lectures offered on the main campus during the same enrollment period. Each site would normally schedule a fixed time for registrants to view lectures. Some courses may require local access to computer hardware. Students pursuing master's and doctorate level degrees under the off-campus video program must be fully admitted to the Graduate School at Mississippi State University. They must meet all graduation requirements and must be following a graduate program approved both by the major department and by the Graduate School.
