Placement Testing

Class & Program Cancellations

Montgomery Community College makes every attempt to meet the needs and desires of its students. However, special circumstances may require us to cancel classes or programs due to insufficient enrollment or funding. The College reserves the right to make such decisions as warranted. Therefore, the provisions set forth in this publication are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between a student and the College.

Campus Crime Report

In 1990, the Campus Security Act was signed into law. The implications of the law affect, to some extent, all postsecondary institutions. More importantly, it involves the entire campus community in responding to crime incidents that occur on campus. In 1998, the Campus Security Act was amended and renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Act requires MCC to prepare and distribute to all current faculty, staff, and students an annual report which sets forth our policies on crime prevention issues and provide statistics on the number of specific, violent crimes (murder and non-negligent manslaughter and negligent manslaughter, forcible and non-forcible sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, arson, motor vehicle thefts, and hate crimes) which have occurred on campus and also the number of arrests on campus for liquor law violations, drug use violations, and weapons possession. The annual report is available at www.montgomery.edu/security.htm and printed copies are available from the Business Office.

Graduation Rate

Information regarding the completion rate of MCC students is on file in Student Services.

Students with Special Needs

Montgomery Community College (MCC) seeks to comply fully with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our goal is to ensure qualified students equal opportunity and access to all programs, courses, services, and facilities. It is the student’s responsibility to make his/her disability known in a timely manner. Students should request any necessary academic adjustments in writing one month prior to registration. To determine the student’s eligibility for services, documentation of disability may be required of all students requesting academic adjustments or auxiliary aids. Documentation may include results of medical, psychological, or emotional diagnostic tests, or other professional evaluations for verification of the need for adjustments or aids. MCC will, where possible, seek assistance from outside agencies (i.e., Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and other organizations). Appropriate testing accommodations are available upon request for students with special needs. Students with learning disabilities must provide documentation and have the documentation evaluated before requests for accommodations will be granted. For more information on Services for Students with Special Needs, consult with the Director of Counseling Services located in Building 100 of the main campus.

If you are a person with a disability and desire any assistive devices, services, or other accommodations to participate in events on the MCC campus, please contact Margo Gaddy at 910-576-6222, Extension 210, during business hours of 8am—5pm at least ten working days prior to the event.
