My Courses is the place to go to make a plan for Spring Semester.

Registration began November 30 for new students who are enrolled in academic programs. But those students should be aware that they have to go through Orientation — put on through the Advising Office — before they can sign up for classes.

On My Courses on the MySMCC portal, you can search and register for courses, view course syllabi, and find other resources on how to choose the courses that are right for you.

Now is the time to meet with an advisor, ask questions and make a plan for your academic success.
