In cases of inclement weather, Martin Community College will announce by 6:15 a.m. the status of opening or closing the college on local radio and television stations, including WIAM Radio Station in Williamston, WDLX Radio Station in Washington, WNCT TV Station in Greenville, and WITN TV Station in Washington. It is the policy of the college to make up closings of more than two days per semester. When classes are not cancelled, students are responsible for making their own decisions about traveling to the college based on their judgement of local road conditions.

Student lockers are conveniently located in classroom buildings. Students desiring to use a locker must purchase a lock through the College Bookstore. Locks not purchased through the Bookstore will be removed after students have been notified by school officials. Although the contents maintained in a locker are the personal property of students, the college reserves the right to inspect lockers at any time deemed necessary. Students who graduate or stop attending classes should remove the lock and clear the locker before leaving the college campus.

Students are expected to dress appropriately. However, instructors may specify the type of clothing they consider to be most appropriate for certain classes.

If students lose items on campus, they should check with the Student Services Office. All students are urged to turn in items which have been found to the Student Services Office as soon as possible. Articles which are turned in and not claimed within a reasonable length of time will be given to charity.

No smoking is permitted in College buildings. Smoking is permitted outside, and smokers are encouraged to smoke in or near gazebos provided for the smoking public.

Students having to make telephone calls are asked to use the pay phones in the Student Lounge in building 1, in the LRC building across from the auditorium, or in the front lobby of Building 4. Except in cases of emergencies, students will not be called from classes to answer the telephone or to be given a message.

Students should notify the Registrar's Office promptly of any change in address or change in name as a result of marriage or divorce.

All students who plan to park a vehicle on campus are permitted to park in any area designated for parking. Areas in front of shop doors are NOT for parking. Drivers should not exceed 15 mph and should observe all traffic signs. Special areas have been designated for the HANDICAPPED. These spaces should be used ONLY by handicapped individuals. If ticketed by MCC personnel, a $25 fine will be charged to those who illegally park in a handicapped space. In other cases, a fine of $5 will be charged to those who park illegally.

Students are encouraged to initiate new organizations to meet student needs, provide additional learning experiences, and enhance school spirit. The following steps should be followed in initiating a new organization:  

1. Discuss plans and get tentative approval from the Student Government Association advisor.

2. Discover and promote other interested students.

3. Select a faculty sponsor.

4. Develop a statement of purpose and objectives.

5. Petition the Student Government Association for recognition.

6. Have the first organizational meeting and elect officers.

7. Develop a budget and present it to the Student Government Association for approval, if applicable.

8. Establish a time and place for meetings.

9. Certify that members of the organization are registered students at the college.

Publications printed and circulated by students and financed through the Student Government Association of the college are coordinated under the supervision of an advisor. Students who knowingly print and distribute publications which are not in the interest of the college will be subject to disciplinary action.

The Bookstore is operated by the college for the convenience of students and instructors. Most textbooks, tools, instruments, and other supplies required by students attending the college are available and sold through the Bookstore. Other distinctive school items usually found in a college bookstore are also available. The store operates under the direction of the Administrative Specialist; hours of operation are posted on the Bookstore door. Books may be returned for a full refund within 10 days after the first class meeting. To be returned, books must not be defaced in any way and must be accompanied by a cash register receipt. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

Children are not permitted to attend classes with students nor use the recreational facilities in the Student Lounge. Pets are not allowed in any of the buildings on the main or branch campuses.

Students are responsible for the proper completion of their academic program; for familiarity with all requirements of the Martin Community College Catalog under which they intend to graduate; for maintaining the grade point average required for continued enrollment and at all times knowing their academic standing; and for meeting all other degree, diploma, or certificate requirements. Advisors will counsel students, but the final responsibility remains that of the students.  

Students are required to have knowledge of and observe all regulations pertaining to campus life and student conduct. Students are also responsible for maintaining communications with Martin Community College by keeping their current address, including ZIP code and telephone number, on file in the Registrar's Office.
