Registration

All continuing degree students and non-matriculated students at Marymount Manhattan have the opportunity to register online for courses. Students may also register in person at the Center for Student Services during prescribed registration dates and times as outlined by the most recent course bulletin.

Registration Periods

There are two major registration periods throughout the academic year, generally in November-December for Spring and Summer courses and April-May for Fall and January courses. In order to register, all students must have activated their MMC E-mail accounts and MMCConnect . You will not receive a REGISTRATION WORKSHEET in the mail. Instead, it will be available in the Center for Student Services and in all departments, prior to Advisement Day. An Advisement Planning Worksheet and Scheduling Grid will be sent to your MMC Email Account and is also available online by clicking the links above. Print out a copy of the form and use it to prepare for your advisement appointment. More details about registration dates and times can be found on our Registration and deadlines page.

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' the student for registration. If the student has not been released, the student will not be permitted to register online. More details about registration dates and times can be found on our Registration and deadlines page.

Restrictions on your account

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 MMCConnect. Restrictions can only be lifted by the Office(s) that assigned it. Once lifted, the student may follow the process(es) below for registration.

Online Registration Information

Complete Online Registration Manual (pdf)

Online registration 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. Online registration is open to continuing matriculated degree students, non-matriculated degree students, and non-degree (visiting, audit and alumni) students.

Academic Advisement

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, MMCConnect 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 members of the HEOP, Academic Access, or Prior Learning programs must see their program directors for registration approval. The same holds true for international students and students with minors in Education.

Special Advisement Process for Non-Matriculated Students

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 Academic Advisement 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 MMCConnect 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. Students requiring special permission will need to supply CSS with the pre/co requisite waiver form approved by the faculty advisor/division chair.

Avoiding Problems

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 see Academic Advisement for permission to overload.

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 catalog for course/pre-requisite information.

If you wish to register for classes without the pre/co-requisites, you will not be able to register on-line. You are required to present the approved pre/co-requisite waiver form in person to the CSS. A student service representative will be able to register you in the class.

If the course requires a co-requisite, it is recommended that you add the co-requisite class first on MMCConnect.

There are certain circumstances under which MMCConnect will allow you to repeat a course:

If you received a grade of UW, W, WF or F in a course
If you received a grade of D in a course taken as part of your major
Remember that credits in your major count only once!
If the course is allowed to be repeated (check course bulletin and college catalogue for specifics)
MMCConnect will not allow you to repeat courses that do not meet the above criteria.

There are a few special registration circumstances that cannot be processed online. The following registrations require additional paperwork that must be submitted to the Center for Student Services at the time of registration:

Internships
Independent Studies
Study Abroad
Maintenance of Matriculation
Prior Learning Assessment
Consortium Programs with Hunter College and Pace University
Pass/Fail
Complete withdrawals from the College
