Online Academic Procedures

Most MCC online credit courses require some form of course materials that can be purchased online. For questions on course materials, please call 531-MCC-4508.

MCC is an approved member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), which lists states currently authorized to offer online programs and degrees as approved for reciprocity through the National Council and/or by state authorization. If you have questions regarding state authorization, contact Academic Affairs at 531-MCC-2645.

MCC Online courses are offered through the Instructure Canvas Learning Management System. Please review the minimum system and browser requirements to ensure the best experience.

Students should be aware that MCC professional licensure programs are designed to prepare them for a license in the state of Nebraska. Students understand that if they plan to practice their intended profession outside of Nebraska, they may or may not have additional requirements that must be completed prior to applying for their license. Please contact the dean or program director of the program you wish to enroll to determine if you will need to satisfy additional requirements for licensure outside the state of Nebraska.

• For Academic Complaints: If the complaint concerns an instructor or program, contact the academic dean of the area in question. Appeal of a final course grade follows the Grade Appeal process found in the College Catalog.
• or Non-Academic Complaints: The complaint should be brought to the attention of a staff member in the relevant College office. If there is no resolution, contact the staff member’s supervisor. If the student is still unsatisfied, contact the administrator in charge of the office. For more details, consult the College Ombudsperson.
• For Discrimination Complaints: Complaints of discrimination follow the process in College Procedures Memorandum, V3.
• For Harassment Complaints: Including sexual harassment and complaints of any form of harassment follow the process in College Procedures Memorandum, V2.
• For Out-Of-State Student Complaints: Students are encouraged to use the aforementioned process before contacting the state. Out-of-state students who wish to contact the state of Nebraska regarding an online class, can:
  • File a complaint with the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education (CCPE) regarding Nebraska degree-granting postsecondary institutions participating in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA).
  • Note that the first step in resolving complaints is to attempt to resolve the matter directly with the involved institution under established institution procedures. Generally, a person who contacts the CCPE office regarding complaints about Nebraska institutions participating in SARA will be referred to college or university officials. In the event that the institutional processes do not result in a successful resolution of a SARA complaint, CCPE is responsible for resolution of any such complaints originating at any SARA participant institution, public or private.
