The Enrollment Tool (ET) provides access to courses from any Mississippi community college, allowing the Host College to offer their students additional course options from other colleges. Permissions and processes in the ET are developed by Offices of the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) in consultation with the Mississippi eLearning Association (MELA) and the Mississippi Association for Community Colleges (MACC), as interpreted by the MCCB.
* MSVCC Website: The Office provides information via webpages to faculty, staff, and students about the Mississippi Virtual Community College (MSVCC), including MSVCC course listings, faculty resources, student resources, and help guides.

* MS-SARA and NC-SARA: The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is an agreement among member states, districts, and U.S. territories that establishes nationwide standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education courses and programs. This agreement allows participating Mississippi colleges and universities to offer distance programs and courses to residents of member states without seeking state-by-state approval, making it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. SARA is overseen by a National Council (NC-SARA) and administered by four regional education compacts.
