The bill requires the Mississippi Community College Board and the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning to prioritize class registration for permanent residents of Mississippi.
-
Section 37-4-3
To require community and junior colleges to develop a system of class registration that will give students who are permanent residents of the state the first option of registering, whether online or in person, for academic courses the resident students anticipate taking for the term or semester of enrollment immediately following the term or semester in which the resident students are presently enrolled. After all Mississippi residents, whether presently enrolled in a postsecondary institution or a recent graduate of a public or private secondary school or home school program in the state, have been afforded the opportunity to register, registration shall then be made available for nonresident students.
This new requirement ensures that Mississippi residents have priority in class registration before non-residents.
