C2C is a statewide program designed to help Mississippi adults who have earned college credit – but not a degree – better their lives by completing a college education.  Coahoma Community College is one of the 15 public community colleges participating in the program, along with Mississippi’s eight public universities.

Important Considerations:

• Students MUST signup for the C2C program BEFORE enrolling in courses at Coahoma Community College. Click here to sign up.
• Once in the program, students must successfully complete courses and earn a passing grade.
  • Students failing to earn passing grades may jeopardize eligibility for continuation in the program.
  • Students must maintain enrollment each semester in order to receive grant funds; any break in enrollment triggers a mandatory appeal process handled by the state C2C office. Exception: If the C2C student needs a course is not offered for an upcoming term, the appeal process is waived.

Your C2C coach assists students with

• Concierge Service for C2C applicants
• Evaluating transcripts
• Identifying quickest degree path
• Submitting for C2C Grant
• Providing information on how to apply for the FAFSA and MS Aid Applications (MAPP)

If a C2C student has remaining funds left after the payment of tuition and course fees, the college will process a refund check for the student.  The C2C coach has no information about the refunding process; thus, the student should contact the Business Office at 662-621-4104.
