Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 9 - Education- Mississippi Community College Board › Part 8 - Policies And Procedures Manual › Section 9-8-5 - College Responsibilities › Section 9-8-5-5.6 - Textbooks

Current through June 25, 2024
As members of the MSVCC, all colleges agree to abide by the
				  following guidelines in regard to meeting the needs of our students for
				  textbooks while enrolled in an online course:
1.
Order from the
				publisher
If possible, the bookstore will order from the publisher,
				  rather than the other bookstore, except where unique situations arise (i.e.
				  instructor prepared materials, out-of-edition textbooks, etc.). Several issues
				  make this the best solution for the majority of orders.
a. First, ordering from the publisher usually
				gives the bookstore the best return policy usually up to one year.
b. Second, all bookstores are struggling to
				meet the needs of the current students in the store and lack additional staff
				in handling numerous online orders between stores.
c. Third, bookstores make estimate of the
				number of books that they think they will need to meet the needs of their
				students. (If numerous copies are sent to other stores, they may be unable to
				meet the demand at their store.)

All MSVCC
provider
semester credit hours for the

				career categories. Academic, technical and career categories are weighted at
				1.0. MSVCC students must be actually enrolled and in attendance the last day of
				the sixth week of each semester, or its equivalent, and reside within the state
				of Mississippi to qualify for funding.
In addition to the above allocation, MSVCC shared

				prior year full-time equivalency of MSVCC shared hours during the summer, fall
				and spring semesters. To be considered in this separate section of the formula,
				the MSVCC student at the "host" institution must be taking the course from
				another "provider" institution. Those semester credit hours being
hosted
by one institution shall receive funding at the weight of
				0.75 and those semester credit hours being
provided
by one
				institution shall receive funding at the weight of 0.25.
All colleges participating in the MSVCC will agree to basic
				MSVCC Operational Guidelines and sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the
				MCCB that outlines the primary responsibilities of the MCCB and the
