Rules and Steps for Registering into Online Courses
Please read carefully - all information is very important! Some changes have been made since last semester.
1. Advising: First, talk with your designated advisor or counselor to make sure you are taking the correct
courses.
"Some colleges do not accept lab-based sciences taken via e-learning. For example, at the University of
Mississippi Medical Center, the Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy, and Pre-Medicine programs will not accept lab-
based sciences taken via e-learning. Please check with the school(s) to which you plan to apply."

Students must satisfy all pre- or co-requisites for certain courses. (For example, English Composition II
requires that you have passed English Composition I.) If a student does not meet pre- or co-requisite
requirements, registration for that class will be denied.
If you have not taken the ACT, you must take the HCC placement tests prior to registration. Placement
tests are offered in the areas of Mathematics, English, and Reading.
2. Orientation: All first time students must participate in orientation.
Click here to complete the orientation process.
3. Maximum Number of Hours: As indicated in the Holmes catalog, a student cannot register
for more than 21 total hours per term. If you request online courses that will put you over a TOTAL (the sum
of your day, evening, and online courses) of 21 hours, your entire online registration will be denied. We
highly recommend that you do not take 21 hours with some of them being online classes. Students who
attempt this have a very low rate of success. Online courses take more time than traditional courses, not
less.
In the Summer Session, students can only take a total of 18 hours.
4. Registering for classes: Before registering for online courses, you must have completed the
following:
a. Complete all admission requirements and give the Admissions & Records Office sufficient time to
process your information. This includes updating your application and/or sending transcripts from
other institutions.
b. If you have been a student at Holmes before, but are not currently enrolled, you must update your
admissions application first.
c. Cleared all Library or Business Office Holds
d. Make sure you have satisfied all pre- or co-requisites for a course.
"Some colleges do not accept lab-based sciences taken via distance learning. For example, at
the University of Mississippi Medical Center, the Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy, and Pre-Medicine
programs will not accept lab-based sciences taken via distance learning. Please check with the
school(s) to which you plan to apply."
Your registration will be thrown out if you have not taken care of the above list. We will not hold a
spot for you! You may complete the registration form by entering your personal information and
selecting your desired course(s). Submitting this form does not guarantee that you are registered
for those courses.
It is the student's responsibility to confirm his/her registration after waiting three (3) business
days for it to be processed. Emails will not be sent out to confirm your registration. You may
only wubmit one original registration form per term, so make sure you know what you want to
take when you got to fill out the form. If you need to make changes, see the information below
about adding and dropping classes.

A. For student ID use your Holmes' "H" number.
B. For email you must use your Holmes email address.
If you are not sure what your Holmes' "H" number is or your Holmes email address please contact the Holmes Help Desk 1-888-HCC-4HLP. (1-888-422-4457) |
You must log in to My Doghouse to register for online classes.
Once you are in My Doghouse, click on the My e-Learning tab
and follow the directions in the e-Learning Registration channel.
Reasons why your registration might be denied:
1. Incomplete admissions. You lack one or more of the following:
~ Admissions application
~ Transcripts
~ ACT Scores
~ If you did not attend Holmes the previous semester, you must update your
admissions application.
2. Hold on your account
3. Lacking pre- or co-requisites
4. Attempting to register for more than 21 hours (or 18 hours in the summer)
5. Confirming Registration: Once you have submitted your registration form, it is the
student's responsibility to confirm the registration by logging into the
Student Profile after you have waited 3 business days of submitting the request.
Your student profile is not official until we have verified it, which is why you must wait 3 business days.
We will not send any emails regarding your registration.
Once you have confirmed your registration, you are now an "Active Student" and should look at the "Active Student" area of the Holmes e-learning web site.
If you can log into the student profile, but some data is incorrect, email hguest@holmescc.edu with the
corrections. If you cannot log into the student profile site 3 days after you have submitted the form, there
was a problem with your registration. Make sure you have completed all the appropriate steps for
admissions and then attempt to register again or call the e-Learning Office at 662-472-9162.
6. Add / Drop: The add/drop has been moved into the "My Doghouse."
7. Withdrawing from class: (*READ!)
Procedures for withdrawing from an online course before the 75% mark:
1. All Holmes students must contact their instructor and have the instructor submit the
following information:
~ Student Name
~ Student Social
~ Course Name, Prefix, Number, & Section
~ LDA
2. If they are a Holmes instructor, they will complete a Holmes withdrawal form provided
for them in the Faculty Resources area of the e-Learning web site.
3. If it is in an instructor from another college, they must email the information to their
own e-learning coordinator who will then email it to hguest@holmescc.edu.
4. Do not log back into that course in Blackboard. You can get the instructor name and email
from your Student Profile. If your instructor is unable to withdraw you, forward that
email to hguest@holmescc.edu .
5. To confirm your withdrawal, go to your Student Profile and check the course status after
3 business days, and it should state "withdrawn."
Once again, it is your responsibility to confirm any changes to your schedule by logging into the Student
Profile after waiting 3 business days for verification. We will not send out an email confirming your
registration or changes to your schedule.
