MELO (Mississippi Electronic Libraries Online) is a virtual library created to meet academic resource needs within the Mississippi community and junior college system.

MAGNOLIA* (Mississippi Alliance for Gaining New Opportunities through Library Information Access) is a statewide project that provides access to over 4,000 full-text journals and other reference databases. The Mississippi Legislature has appropriated funds for the purchase of databases on behalf of the publicly funded libraries across the state since 1997. Some MAGNOLIA databases may require passwords if the IP address is not recognized. When this happens contact the EMCC Librarian nearest you.

*Note: Off campus students will be prompted for a location ID number. Please contact your EMCC library. The service is free of charge to any resident of Mississippi.

During registration every student is informed of the total amount of fees. APPROVED financial aid is deducted from the total and the student is informed of the balance.

Students having overdue accounts must pay their balance before registering for another semester.

Students not having overdue accounts can pay their fees in full at registration, or fee payments can be made with certain MINIMUM down payments, described below. Students not prepared to make minimum payments must obtain administrative credit approval to complete registration.

Any student seeking administrative credit approval must bring their registration forms to the Business Office and receive a Special Fee Payment Agreement Form to take to the designated administrator. The Business Office will retain the registration forms and complete certain parts of the Special Fee Payment Agreement Form for the student. The student must return the approved form to the Business Office after meeting with the designated administrator.

All first time students, including MSVCC students, must pay the $110.00 Registration fee, regardless of financial aid. Registration fees are non-refundable.

MINIMUM Down Payments: (For students without old balances)

All fees are DUE IN ADVANCE, or fee payment arrangements must be MADE IN ADVANCE. Full-time student fees for MS residents (12 continuous months other than educational):

FEE REFUND POLICY

A student who OFFICIALLY AND COMPLETELY WITHDRAWS FROM SCHOOL by completing an EMCC Withdrawal Form before completion of the course will have refundable charges adjusted as follows:

Room deposits will be refunded in full at the end June, provided the proper check-out/release form has been signed by the dormitory supervisor. A student with room damages may be required to forfeit part or all of his/her room deposit to cover damage costs. A student’s room deposit may also be held to cover all or part of any outstanding balance due the College.

All textbooks that have been charged to the student’s account and not yet paid for are to be returned to the bookstore for proper adjustment to the student’s account.

EMCC follows US Department of Education requirements calculating pro-rata refunds for students receiving federal student aid who withdraw before the 60% point in the period of enrollment.

Intensive sessions of less than 9 weeks are adjusted based on days rather than weeks.

**Dorm Deposits are refundable until August 1st for students who do not attend. Students must contact the Director of Housing prior to August 1st to request a refund of the deposit.
