2011-12 Bulletin - Northwest Mississippi Community College

Career-Tech Education Support Services
CTE Support Services provides services on all Northwest campuses to the following
groups of students: the economically and academically disadvantaged, limited English
proficiency, non-traditional by gender, criminal offender, disability, single parent,
and displaced homemaker. Services include instructional aids and devices,
remediation, adaptive equipment, integration of academic and career education, career
evaluation and assessment, career education activities, curriculum and classroom
modifications, and assistance to overcome any other identified barriers to success.
Residence Halls
Residence halls are provided by Northwest Mississippi Community College for the
convenience of students who cannot or do not wish to commute on a daily basis. Residence
hall life often makes for a fuller and richer college experience for students. Our
mission is to first serve the residents of Mississippi; therefore, prospective students who
reside outside the state are placed in our residence halls after in-state students are accommodated.
Northwest operates nine residence halls housing approximately 1,063 students. Residence
halls are available only to students who take a full academic, career, or technical
courseload (excluding virtual classes) and who attend class regularly. Students
must also meet the grade point requirement for residence students. All residence hall
policies are described in the Student Guide.
Students who wish to apply for housing should obtain a residence hall application
from the Housing or Recruiting offices and return the application to the Housing Office
with a deposit of $100 for Tallahatchie, DeSoto, or Marshall halls or $50 for all
other halls. The deposit is refundable under certain circumstances as described in the
Student Guide.
Health Services
Northwest Mississippi Community College does not have an established health
center or a health nurse. Students who are sick or injured should contact Campus
Police or the Director of Campus Life on the Senatobia campus or the center dean
at the centers for assistance.
Students who need professional care or treatment are carried to local physicians or
to the local hospital. In emergency situations, the college will obtain the services of
a physician and then contact parents or nearest relatives. Expenses or professional
care or treatment are the responsibility of the student.
Food Service
Northwest offers its resident students and other students, faculty, staff, and visitors a fullservice
menu in the David M. Haraway Center on the Senatobia campus. The food service
includes a food court that operates on a modified a la carte basis, as well as a catering
service.
All housing or resident students are required to purchase a meal plan. Meal plans are also
available for commuting students and faculty/staff. (See page 49 for more information.)
Food court hours are as follows: 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 7
a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays, and for scheduled brunches and dinners on Friday evenings and
weekends. Hours are subject to change with notice.
