The Registrar’s office will code the student’s major as RHI (high school student).

Home Schooled Students - Any age
Home-schooled students will follow one of the specific procedures as outlined above. |
| Students under Age 18 - Released from compulsory attendance |
| Students under 18, who have been released from compulsory attendance, must submit the “Release from Compulsory Attendance Form” to the Admissions & Records Office. This form is obtained from the student’s resident high school district.
Note: These students follow the same guidelines for admission and registration as students over 18 years of age. |
| Enrolling For Non-Credit Classes |
| Any student under the age of 18 may take “Community Education” classes, regardless of age, without special approval of MHCC staff. However, their parent or guardian must sign a “Release Agreement for Potential Injury or Liability Form”. This form is available in the Executive Dean’s Office. This form will be kept on file in the Registrar’s office. |
| Financial Aid Eligibility of Under-Age Students |
| For the purposes of financial aid eligibility, “underage” students are not “regular” students and are therefore not aid eligible. Regular students are defined as degree seeking students. Students concurrently enrolled in high school and MHCC are by federal regulation ineligible for financial aid. If a student is age 16 or older, has been released from compulsory high school attendance, and has completed a GED and/or completes the College Placement Test to meet the “Ability To Benefit” requirements, they may be aid eligible. The Office of Financial Aid will make the final determination of aid eligibility status based on documentation provided by the student. |
