MISSISSIPPI VIRTUAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE The Mississippi Virtual Community College is a cooperative of Mississippi’s 15 community college districts and the Mississippi State Board for Community and Junior Colleges. Its mission is to provide educational opportunities to constituencies who live within the various community and junior college districts inMississippi and to others beyond those boundaries. Through MSVCC, students may take courses from community & junior colleges anywhere in Mississippi while getting support services from a local college. To take a course from a remote (provider) college, a student enrolls at a local (host) community or junior college. The host college supports the student with a full slate of student services including advisement and counseling, financial aid, and learning resources. The host college receives the student’s tuition and fees. The host college awards credit for the course. The remote (provider) college provides the course instruction. Assignments, tests, and grades are administered by one of its instructors. For this instructional service, the provider college receives the state’s reimbursement for the enrollment. This cooperative makes it possible for MSVCC colleges to leverage their distance learning resources— including faculty, courses, support services, and technology—to benefit students throughout Mississippi and beyond. For a list of courses offered through MSVCC, please see the web site at http://msvcc.blackboard.com.
