2.4 What campus and community services are covered by debit-card, smart-card, or one-card systems?
The student ID card is used to conduct transactions with the Bursar’s Office, Registration and Records, Financial Aid, and other campus offices. The ID card also allows a student to check out materials at the library and gain access to the Human Performance Lab. Students may establish an account with the on-campus dining vendor. This account can be used to purchase food at various vendors in the food court. The student ID card is also used for security purposes in the residence halls.

Privacy, security, and usage rules
2.6 What security and privacy policies are in place to protect student information?
Access to Student Records requires User ID and PIN. Firewalls are in place to help block access to MCC data by unauthorized individuals.
Standard Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations are used to protect students’ privacy. No non-directory information can be released without the written permission of the student. For additional information on FERPA go to:

2.7 How does the campus protect students from identity theft?
Social Security numbers (SSN) are not printed on documents provided to instructors, such as class rosters or grade forms. Instead of the SSN, a generated ID is listed to identify students. Administrative offices shred documents that list SSN’s. |
