The visitor parking lot, which is located north of lot C, has a parking time limit of two hours.

The signal for evacuation of the building is a loud steady buzzer as well as a blinking light near the ceiling that is a warning for the hearing impaired. All classrooms have emergency information near each door. Tornado Emergency When a tornado warning is announced on the public address system, students and staff must move to the most protected areas of the building. Most protected areas are marked in the corridor and posted in classrooms. All students should remain in the most protected areas until an “all clear” announcement is made over the public address system. Attendance and the Weather Moraine Park Technical College attempts to function under all weather conditions. When it becomes necessary to alter the College’s campus schedule due to inclement weather, information will be provided to local media sources. Students are encouraged to check the college website (morainepark.edu) and college emergency phone numbers (Beaver Dam 920-887-4555, Fond du Lac 920-924-6600 or West Bend 262-335-6000) for current and up-to-date information. Efforts will be made to notify the various media contacts by 5:30 a.m. when day schedule may be affected and by 2:00 p.m., if possible due to current weather conditions when evening schedule may be affected. The college will only release announcements when the college’s schedule is altered. NO announcement is made when the college will operate as usual. It is up to the individual to decide if weather conditions are so hazardous that attendance at school is unsafe. Students will not be penalized for absence under conditions that are judged by the individual student to be extremely hazardous. Animals Inside Campus Buildings For sanitary and safety reasons, no animals are allowed inside campus buildings. The only exception to this policy not requiring specific permission of the College President or one of the vice presidents is the use of a certified, working guide dog when accompanying a disabled individual (i.e., seeing-eye dog, dog for the hearing impaired, and paraplegic-support dog). Pets, even if held, are forbidden. Staff should immediately make a violator aware of the policy and ask that the animal be removed at once.
Tobacco-Free Policy All Moraine Park Technical College campuses are tobaccofree. This is designed to create a healthier environment for everyone who comes to Moraine Park to study, work, or visit and complies with the State of Wisconsin law. A tobacco-free campus will prohibit use of all tobacco products—cigarettes and chewing tobacco. No tobacco usage will be allowed on premises (which includes parking lots) or in college vehicles. There will be no smoking shelters or designated locations for staff, students or visitors to use tobacco. Individuals may use tobacco in their personal vehicles; however, disposal of cigarette butts, smoking materials, or garbage is strictly prohibited. Enforcement will depend upon the cooperation of all faculty, staff and students. All violations will be recorded in writing. Student violations will be forwarded to the Dean of Students and staff violations forwarded to the supervisor for appropriate disciplinary action. Student Rights and Responsibilities Core Abilities Core Abilities, as defined by Moraine Park, are transferable skills, knowledge and/or attitudes essential to an individual’s success regardless of occupation or community setting. All occupational programs and General Education courses integrate core abilities into their curriculum. Students develop these seven “core abilities” and are responsible for their application. Graduates have a greater chance of success, because employers prefer to hire and promote individuals who: Work Productively, Demonstrate Integrity, Adapt to Change, Communicate Clearly, Act Responsibly, Think Critically and Creatively and Work Cooperatively. Procedures for Solving Academic Problems If a student has difficulty with course materials, instruction, grades or other matters related to course instruction, the following steps should be taken to resolve these issues: • A student should initiate and participate in a one-to-one discussion with their instructor for recommendations that may include accessing services in the Student Success Center, a tutor, a peer study group or counseling services. • If the student is not able to resolve the issue during instructor-student dialogue, the student needs to contact the dean responsible for the program. The Dean will evaluate the situation and work with both student and instructor to achieve resolution. • If the situation is not resolved to the satisfaction of either the student or the instructor, each will be required to submit a written statement to the Vice President - Academic Affairs. The decision made by the Vice President - Academic Affairs is final. Student Conduct (Nonacademic) The Moraine Park Technical College District Board and staff believe that all members of the College community have a responsibility to provide a positive environment that fosters and supports accomplishment of the District’s academic mission. Every student has the right to pursue his/her education free from disruption, harassment, threats or danger. Student conduct that impedes the educational process or violates the rights of others will not be tolerated. The College has processes and procedures that define offensives, designate sanctions and clarify procedural requirements. Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that does not interfere with the educational process; endanger the safety or welfare of other students or staff; or represent a violation of established statutes, ordinances or public laws. Misconduct Subject to Disciplinary Sanctions: Misconduct subject to disciplinary sanctions includes, but is not limited to: • Conduct that constitutes a serious danger to the personal safety of other members of the College community or its visitors. • Physical or verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, or detention of any person on College property; on satellite properties; or at College activities that endangers the health, safety or rights of others. • Conduct that damages or destroys College property or satellite property or attempts to damage or destroy College property, satellite property or technological resources. • Theft of College property, satellite property or the property of any visitor or member of the College community. • Conduct that obstructs or impairs, or attempts to obstruct or impair, College-run or authorized activities, including activities outdoors or inside a classroom, library, laboratory, shop or other places where College activities are provided. • Viewing or displaying pornographic images. • Unauthorized entry into or use of College property, satellite properties or facilities, technological resources or third party technological resources. • Intentional conduct that obstructs a College official or employee from engaging in the lawful performance of his/her duties. morainepark.edu 35
