MGCCC Online Course Textbook InformationHow do I know what textbook is required for my online course? Your student profile in MSVCC will contain the required textbook and supplemental course material information. Go to MSVCC, click on the “Student Profile” link located on the left side of the screen, and then complete the necessary information to log into your profile. Most textbooks for MGCCC students, who are enrolled in MGCCC provided online courses, are on MGCCC book rental service. The cost per book is $25. Additional MGCCC course materials such as CDs and lab manuals may be purchase items available in campus bookstores. In most cases, rental books must be returned to the bookstore on the last day of class. You will sign a document at the time that you pick up your books that includes the return date. Please make a note of the date on that form so that you get your books in on time and are not charged a late fee. If you have any questions about book service items, please contact the MGCCC Bookstore. If MGCCC courses on campus are not on book service, the MGCCC online course will not be on book service and the textbook will be a purchase item. MGCCC students enrolling in online courses provided by other colleges should go to MSVCC and check their student profile for textbook information for the course or contact the course instructor for book purchase information. Textbooks for courses offered by other colleges are probably going to be purchase items. To access your student profile go to MSVCC, click the “Student Profile” link, and then complete the required fields. Please remember to select the college where you are registered and the correct semester. Where can I purchase my textbook? Textbooks or other items not available in the MGCCC bookstore can be purchased online. MGCCC encourages students to comparison shop for materials for the online courses. Listed below are a few of the available online book services: Companies Provide Cost Comparisons
Companies Sell New & Used Textbooks and Buy Back Textbooks
Companies Sell New & Used Textbooks
Companies List Bookstore Sites
If you encounter difficulties finding required course materials you can also go to the publishers website to purchase required items. IMPORTANT: Textbooks vary between the various sections for online courses. When you change between section numbers, the textbook will probably be different. For example, the four sections of art appreciation offered by MGCCC use the same textbook; however, if you are enrolled in the section of art appreciation taught by Hinds Community College, the textbook is not the same as used by MGCCC. Also note that the MGCCC art appreciation book is on book service and available through the MGCCC bookstores. The art appreciation book for the Hinds online course is a purchase item not available in the MGCCC bookstores. Online book companies are probably going to require a credit card or check. Remember that you can also use a money order. Money orders are sold by many organizations including the U.S. Postal Service.
