Welcome to Itawamba
Community College's eLearning website. This site is designed to help
you get a head-start in taking our online courses.
ICC is part of the Mississippi Virtual Community
College (MSVCC), which is a consortium of fifteen of Mississippi's
community colleges. ICC became involved with eLearning and the MSVCC
Consortium since its beginning in January 2000. Through MSVCC,
students may take courses anywhere in Mississippi while receiving
support services from a local college, such as ICC. To take a course
from another (remote) college, a student enrolls at a local (ICC)
community college, which supports the student with a full slate of
student services, including advisement and counseling, financial
aid, and learning resources. The remote college provides the course
and instruction; however, the local college awards the credit for
the course. |
