I'm currently an MCC student/I've been enrolled before. What do I need to do to register?
1. Review the catalog and credit course schedules in Self-Service.
2. Meet with an academic advisor to ensure you're taking the right classes.
3. Register for classes online, in person, by phone, or via email.
4. Purchase books at The MCC Store.
Ways to Register
1. Register online - the quickest way to register is to visit myMCC and select Self-Service > Student Planning > Plan and Schedule.
  - Follow our step-by-step instructions and watch helpful videos about registering for credit classes through Student Planning.
2. In person - come to the Registration Office in A258, present a valid photo ID, and provide the course names, number, and section numbers to register with one of our helpful team members.
3. By phone - call the Registration Office at (815) 455-8588 and speak with a team member. You will be asked to respond to a few questions and provide the course names, numbers, and section numbers to complete the registration.
4. By email – email mymcc@mchenry.edu from your MCC student email account with the course names, numbers, and section numbers you would like to register for.
No FAX or mail-in registrations will be accepted.
Registration Permissions and Restrictions
- If you have a tuition balance over $1,500, or if you have any past due balances with other College departments, you might be restricted from registering for classes.
- If the course schedule indicates a prerequisite, you must have the documentation on file before registering.
- Once a class section is filled, you may place yourself on the waitlist.
  - If you receive permission to register from a waitlist, you'll get an email in your MCC student email account, and you'll have 24 hours to register.
  - Waitlists close ten days before the section's start date. If you haven't been approved to register for the class section once the waitlist period has ended, you may request the instructor's permission to register.
