Northwest Locations

Each student should become familiar with policies, regulations, and instructions as stated in this catalog. Counselors, advisors, and other personnel are willing to assist students in planning programs of study and to aid them in other phases of college life. HOWEVER, THE FINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEETING REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND ADHERING TO OTHER ACADEMIC REGULATIONS RESTS WITH THE STUDENT.

Northwest Mississippi Community College reserves the right to amend, revise, delete, and/or waive any policy or procedure when deemed necessary to comply with federal, state, and local enactment which may have become effective since the publication of the policies.

Northwest Mississippi Community College further reserves the right to amend, revise, delete, change, or substitute any policy or procedure contained herein for any reason. The College further reserves the right to change the fees, rules, and calendar regulating admission, registration, instruction, and graduation from the College and to change any other regulation affecting the student body. Changes become effective when approved by the administration of the school and generally disseminated to the students by publication or another similar manner. Changes apply not only to prospective students but also to those who are already matriculated in the College.
