New students can get help with registration and financial aid. A separate ACT testing session follows November 19.
Students planning to attend Northeast Mississippi Community College this spring have an upcoming opportunity to get their questions answered before the semester begins.
Northeast will hold orientation for new spring students on Wednesday, November 18. The college’s registration form currently lists two session times: 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Students can choose a session through the registration link on Northeast’s orientation page.
The event is intended for incoming freshmen and transfer students. According to the college, orientation provides help reviewing admissions and financial aid status, registering for classes, touring campus and creating a digital student ID.
Students should confirm their check-in location and arrival instructions with Northeast before traveling. The public orientation page does not list a specific meeting building.
Spring registration begins November 13
Northeast’s 2026–27 academic calendar lists Friday, November 13, as Priority Registration Day and the beginning of the spring registration period.
Registration for spring day, evening and online classes is listed through January 8. Full-term, in-person classes begin Monday, January 11, 2027. Students taking online or shorter-term courses should check the dates for their particular classes. View the college’s academic calendar.
ACT testing available November 19—with important limits
Northeast also lists a residual ACT session for noon Thursday, November 19, in Wright Hall on its Booneville campus. Sessions are limited to 20 students; readers should check availability through the college’s testing registration link.
The fee is $75, payable by cash, check or money order made out to NEMCC. Test-takers need a current photo ID, pencils and a calculator. An admissions application must be on file or completed before testing, and students must wait 60 days between residual ACT attempts.
This test has a narrower purpose than the national ACT. Northeast says the residual score is usable only for admission to NEMCC, does not transfer to a senior college and cannot be used for MTAG. Students who need a score for another institution or financial aid should confirm which test they need before registering. Read the testing requirements and register.
For families considering a spring start, the immediate steps are to review admissions requirements, select an orientation session and check whether testing is needed. Applications and links to tuition, housing and financial aid information are available through Northeast’s Admissions and Records office.
Details checked November 10, 2026, against Northeast’s published pages and orientation registration form. Session availability and schedules may change.
