Registration Information

Students will be able to view their Program Evaluation in MMC Connect, under the “Academic Planning” section. A program evaluation is an advisement tool that a student can use in planning his/her academic program. The program evaluation will show all completed courses taken at MMC, transfer courses, in-progress, registered, and pre-registered courses and matches them against the requirements for a particular degree program. The EVAL is an internal document for advising purposes only. It is not a contract, official notification of graduation or a substitute for a transcript. The program evaluation(EVAL) will also provide a program summary of a student’s total credits earned and gpa, and will list all the degree requirements (both complete and incomplete). Specifically, the program evaluation will produce a customized report that shows whether or not a student has:

• fulfilled the requirements - (Completed) - highlighted in Green
• requirements pending because the student is currently enrolled or pre-registered in the course(s) needed - ( Pending completion of unfinished activity) - highlighted in Orange
• requirements partially completed - (In Progress) - highlighted in Blue
• the course(s) still need to be taken (e.g.“1 Course Needed”)*

*Although 1 course may be needed - check the total number of credits required

• not started on taking the requirement(s) - (Not Started) - highlighted in Red

The student should review the program evaluation with the student’s academic advisor. Courses that are “Not Started” or listed as “Course Needed”, are courses the student still needs to take. The student and/or advisor can use the program evaluation(EVAL) as an academic planning tool to:

• verify degree program or concentration
• monitor a student’s progress towards completing a degree
• map out course choices for the upcoming registration and future coursework
• determine if a course substitution is needed
• discover external credits (transfer credit, advanced placement, etc) pending or missing, and to recommend that the student take the necessary steps to ensure that the Registrar’s Office obtains these documents
• determine a student’s last term at MMC or anticipated date of completion
• explore other degree programs at MMC / “What-If” the student changes his/her program of study

Students should check with their major department or the Office of Student Success Advising to determine when the Advisement Planning Worksheet and Scheduling Grid will be available to students. When the forms are available, students should print out a copy of the forms and use it to prepare for their advisement appointment, along with the print out of their program evaluation.

Students will be allowed to register on specific dates determined by the number of credits they have completed to date. Students must meet with their faculty advisor on the scheduled advisement day(s) prior to registration. Once a prescribed set of courses has been determined, academic advisors will release (or “HBA” - have been advised) the student for registration. If the student has not been released or does not have an HBA clearance, the student will not be permitted to register online. More details about registration dates and times can be found on the “Dates and Deadlines” tab on our Registration Information webpage.

If a student’s account has a hold/restriction, it must be cleared before the student is allowed to register. Restrictions can be viewed through MMC Connect. Restrictions can only be lifted by the Office(s) that assigned them. Once lifted, the student may follow the process(es) below for registration. Go to the Online Registration Manual to view a complete listing of restriction codes. 

Online registration in MMC Connect is open to continuing degree-seeking and non-matriculated students. In order to take advantage of online registration, students must have an active MMC e-mail account and have accessed MMCConnect . The Information Technology department can service any student who has not activated their email accounts. Note - students (continuing, non-degree, non-matriculated) who do not have the prerequisite(s) for a class will not be able to register for those specific classes online.

Students will need to submit an approved prerequisite waiver form. Go to the student portal.  The prerequisite waiver form is under “Registration Forms”

If the form is approved, registrar staff will enroll you into the class if there are no other issues (e.g. class is closed, time conflict with another class, etc).

Students must meet with their faculty advisor on the scheduled Advisement Day(s) to choose a set of courses for the upcoming semester. Faculty advisors are responsible for releasing students for registration. If a student has not been advised (“HBA”), MMC Connect will not allow him/her to register online. It is also highly recommended that alternate courses be chosen during advisement since classes have been known to close quickly. Students who are in HEOP, Academic Access, or on an International (F-1 or similar) visa must see their program directors for registration approval.

Non-degree students who are planning to become MMC degree-seeking students will be required to meet with an academic advisor in the Office of Student Success Advising in the Center for Student Services to review their course selections before registering online. If you fall into this category, you will see a NDG (non-degree) restriction on MMC Connect and you can also view the name of your academic advisor, who will release you for registration.

Pre/co requisite requirements still need to be met for Non-degree students. Non-degree students who need their prerequisites waived, must submit a prerequisite waiver form.   General registration forms are located on the student portal.   The Prerequisite Waiver form is located under “Registration Forms”.

If the form is approved,  the registrar staff will enroll the student into the class as long as the class is available.

• All potential problems that could delay online registration should be resolved before attempting to register online. Students should clear any holds/restrictions on their accounts and ensure that they have all necessary prerequisites completed. Students will not be allowed to register for courses that meet at the same time, courses that require permission from the instructor for entry, or courses for which the appropriate pre-requisites have not been completed.
  
  Students are allowed to take up to 18 credits per semester provided they have at least a 3.0 grade point average. MMCConnect will not allow a student to take over 17 credits if they have less than a 3.0. In this case, students must request permission for course overload.  The Course Overload form is located on the student portal, under “Advisement Form”.
  
  If a course section is open to only certain class levels (e.g. juniors, seniors), students have to be at the required class level at the time of registration – not the class level upon completion of the current semester and/or completion of future summer or January session classes.
  
  Make sure all pre-requisites have been met. If you are deficient in any pre-requisite(s), the system will not allow you to register for the class. Consult your college catalogue for course/pre-requisite information.
  
  If students wish to register for classes without the pre/co-requisites, they will not be able to register on-line. Students must submit a prerequisite/restriction waiver form.

  Students will need to submit a prerequisite waiver form.  The Prerequisite Waiver form is located on the student portal, under “Registration  Forms”.

  We recommend students submit their prerequisite/restriction waiver form days before their registration time begins. Registrar staff will process the pre/co requisite waiver form prior to the student’s registration timeslot. If the registration was successful, students will see their class on MMC Connect. If there are any issues (e.g. class section is closed, waitlist is full, accounts hold, class conflict etc.) the Registrar will send the student an email notification. (*Note: An approved prerequisite waiver does not guarantee a seat into the class. If the class is closed, students can opt to be added to the waitlist if available or find an alternate class.
  
  If the course requires a co-requisite, it is recommended that you add the co-requisite class first on MMCConnect.

• Go on MMC Connect and print out your program evaluation. Bring your program evaluation with you when you meet with your faculty advisor. To help you understand your program evaluation (EVAL), click on Program Evaluation in MMC Connect guide.
• Students can download their registration forms by going to the student portal.

The “Registration Agreement Form”under the Registration Forms section.

Students are encouraged to complete the Registration Agreement Form and download it prior to their Advisement Day or Advisement Period. Note: Students should make sure their data has been saved on the Registration form. Students may try a different browser if they are having issue saving their course information on the online registration form.

The Registrar has created an Online Registration Checklist and Online Registration Manual for your convenience. The checklist lists all situations that may prevent you from registering on your priority registration date. The online registration manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to register for classes on MMC Connect.

Students may make changes (add/drop courses) online until the last day to add a class - See Registration and Deadline dates on MMC Connect. After that date, all program changes must be made by completing the program change form along with the advisor’s approval via email*.  

Students must make all program changes within the specified time before incurring academic or financial penalties.  Students should check the Tuition Cancellaton policy before dropping courses.  Once the program change period ends, classes may not be added to a student’s schedule.  After the official program change period (generally the first week in a major semester and shorter during the January and Summer intersession), a $30 fee will be charged every time a student makes a change to his/her schedule. The fee is charged per transaction, not per course added or dropped.

*To add/drop a course, students must fill out a Program Change (Add/Drop) form located on the student portal under “Registration Forms”.  The student will indicate which courses are to be added or dropped from their schedule. The form must be filled out in its entirety with all appropriate fields filled out. Degree-seeking students must have the form approved and signed by their advisor. As advisors/staff may be working remotely, approvals via email will be accepted.  Once submitted, the Registrar staff will process the program change form as long as the class is open and does not have a time conflict with another class.  Students will be able to see their program change on MMC Connect on the student schedule link. 

Students who add or drop classes that result in a change in status, (i.e. full-time to part-time) will be responsible for all financial liabilities pertaining to such a change.

Your opportunity to register online begins when your priority registration date/time starts and will not end until the day before the start of term. You can register on MMC Connect (Express Registration ) after your priority registration date/time begins and until the end of the program change period, as long as your advisor has given you clearance by assigning you an (HBA) on your account and you have no active restrictions (e.g. AR - student accounts, IC - missing immunization, etc). Contact an academic counselor in the Office of Student Success Advising  at advisement@mmm.edu or 212-517-0568, if you have questions and/or problems.  If you are studying abroad and are having registration or technical issues, students may contact the Office of Student Success Advising or IT technical support at techsupport@mmm.edu or 212-517-0580 (Help Desk).

Note: You will not be able to register before your registration priority date/time slot.

The typical MMC student enrolls for 5 classes or approximately 15 credits per semester. Students are allowed to take up to 18 credits provided if they have an overall gpa of 3.00 or above. Students who would like to register over and above the 18 credits maximum, will need to file a Course Overload Request form, available on the student portal under “Advisement Form”.   If the overload request is approved, the registrar staff will enroll the student into the class as the course is open and does not cause a time conflict with another course.

If you are receiving financial aid and are planning on enrolling in less than 12 credits, you should consult with a financial aid counselor. Most financial aid awards are closely tied to your status as a full-time (12 credits or more) student.

Student status refers to the course load (in terms of credits) a student is taking during a given semester:

• Less than half time: 0–5 credits
• Half time: 6–8 credits
• 3/4 time: 9–11 credits
• Full time: 12 credits or above
• Overload* - 16 credits or above

*Overload: overload credits may result in additional tuition charges

Non-matriculating or non-degree students may register online through MMCConnect as long as the students have set up their network password and ID through the Office of Information Technology (4th Floor, Carson Hall). Non-matriculating or non-degree students register in the same manner as a degree-seeking student. They will be given a priority registration date/time. Non-matriculating or non-degree students will also need to be given clearance for registration (HBA), clear all holds/restrictions, and have fulfilled the prerequisites for each course. If a student is seeking a prerequisite waiver, then the student must file a prerequisite waiver form. The waiver needs to be approved by the program chair, or dept/division chair.  Once approved, the form can be sent to the registrar’s office (RO) at registrar@mmm.edu for processing.  Staff will register the student into the class as long as there is a seat available or does not cause a time conflict with another course.

Once the Program Change period ends, students may no longer add courses into their schedules. They may, however, continue to drop courses but with academic and financial liabilities. Students wishing to drop a course or courses after the program change period has ended must complete an Add/Drop form located on the Student Portal under Registration Forms.  On this form, the student may indicate which courses the student would like to withdraw from. According to specific time intervals (indicated in the appropriate semester’s course bulletin), a student will receive either a grade of “W” or “WF” at the time of withdrawal.
A “W” grade is shown on the student’s transcript but does not affect his or her cumulative grade point average. A “WF” grade is shown on the student’s transcript and is tabulated into the grade point average as an “F.” The student is financially liable for the full cost of the dropped course and any fees.

In order to withdraw completely from Marymount, a student must complete a Total Withdrawal Form (available in the Office of Academic Advisement). This form is to be used only when withdrawing completely from the school. The student must fill out the form completely with their class schedule. The date the withdrawal is submitted determines whether or not the College will recalculate the student’s tuition, fees, and financial aid. The date the withdrawal is submitted also determines whether or not the student will be subject to academic penalty; that is receive grades of “W” or “WF.” If the withdrawal date precedes the official deadline for withdrawals, the student will receive grades of “W.” If the withdrawal date succeeds the official deadline, the student will receive grades of “WF.” Official deadlines for withdrawal are noted on MMC’s website under “Academic Calendar”.   An advisor in the Academic Advisement office must approve the Total Withdrawal Form.  Students should be made aware informing faculty or other  non-Advisement administrators of their withdrawal is not considered an official withdrawal from College.  Students must file the official Total Withdrawal Form with the Office of Student Success Advising.
