Help and Support
Online courses are delivered through an Internet based learning system called Canvas. When you register for online courses, your courses will become available on the first day of class. You will need to log in and complete weekly assignments. These assignments will be your attendance records for your course. You will also be required to complete 1-3 proctored exams.
For support resources for online students see details below.
Textbooks
Your online courses will require textbooks. Some courses will include the books as an eBook option and will be linked in the course on through a navigation menu titled Bookshelf. If you are taking a non-Northeast section through the MSVCC, you can view what book requirements you have for your online courses you will complete a Student Access form on the MSVCC website. After registration please allow up to 24 hours before your Student Access profile becomes available. You may contact your instructor or the eLearning Office if you have questions on the textbook requirements. Textbooks not included in your course as an eBook may be ordered through the Northeast Bookstore or through other book distributors.

State Authorization for Online Education
Northeast Mississippi Community College operates under the authority of an agreement with the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation (MCCA) to participate in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA).SARA is a voluntary agreement among member states, districts, and territories in the United States, which establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education courses and programs.As a SARA participant, Northeast is authorized to offer distance education to persons residing in other NC-SARA-member states and districts. Visit the NC-SARA website for more information on the policies and procedures set forth by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
NC-SARA approval does not extend to programs that lead to professional licensure. If you live outside the state of Mississippi and are considering a program that leads to licensure, then you should contact the appropriate licensing board in your home state before you apply to Northeast. While every attempt is made to stay abreast of the laws in each state, it is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate licensing board in his or her home state to confirm whether or not the program will meet that state's licensure requirements.
