Online Resources

Library

You can access all of the libraries online resources, such as EBSCO and other research databases, on the website prcc.edu/libraries. You also have access to Mississippi Electronic Libraries Online. Mississippi Electronic Libraries Online (MELO) is a virtual library developed in March 2000 to meet academic resource needs of distance learning within the Mississippi community and junior colleges. It is an electronic environment that mirrors the traditional library through online databases, electronic books and journals, and scholarly web sites.

Tutoring

We strongly recommend our students to use the free, online tutoring service that PRCC offers. The service is called NetTutor. Online math tutoring is available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Writing assignments can be submitted 24 hours a day, every day of the week. All writing submissions to NetTutor will maintain a 48-72 hour turnaround time. All other subjects will follow the NetTutor subject hours for the semester. NetTutor is available to all PRCC students, in all courses (online, hybrid, and traditional).

Proctoring

All PRCC online courses require students to take proctored exams. If you are registered for a fully online class through Mississippi Virtual Community College (any community college in Mississippi), you should schedule through the 'Proctoring' button in your Canvas course.

Canvas

Canvas is the platform we use for all of our courses, whether online, inperson or hybrid. You can download the Canvas App on your phone for easy access.

Technology

As a PRCC student, you have free access to some great technologies such as Microsoft 365 and Grammarly Premium. To learn how to utilize these tools, visit prcc.edu/academics/elearning

Support

We offer many online support systems available to all students: Your instructor, PRCC Help Desk, Canvas Support, and eLearning Support.
