prohibited, except in locations specifically permitted by Board policy.
A new Smoking
policy will be voted on during the summer of 2015 and will replace former Board policy

Solicitation & Fundraising
Unauthorized soliciting by or to students is prohibited. Any attempt to sell or contact
to sell to any student, employee, or guest of the College, while on campus premises,
shall be considered unauthorized without express permission from the Vice President
of Student Services. No commercial commodities may be sold on campus by any
individual or group, except through regularly approved distribution channels. Any
funds collected through the student organizations must be deposited and dispensed
through the WNCC Business Office.
The name of the College shall not be used by students or student groups for commercial
or promotional purposes without approval of the Vice President of Student Services.
Student Leave of Absence for Military Duty
A student responding to a lawful deployment order through a branch of the United States
armed forces may avail himself or herself of specified course alterations or modifications
by requesting a Military Leave of Absence (MLOA) through his/her instructor. Military
leave policy relates to students who are registered for classes at WNCC, whether by
face-to-face or distance learning instructional delivery. The purpose of the MLOA is
to ensure equality of opportunity for success to students who are called to military
service. Students are still expected to fulfill the learning requirements of a course,
but they should not be penalized for circumstances beyond their control. A copy of
the full Policy and Procedures can be obtained from the Student Services Office or at
wncc.edu/militaryveterans
.
Student’s Right to Know and Campus Security Act
In compliance with federal regulations, WNCC annually compiles reports that indicate
the College’s graduation rates and the institution’s current security program and crime
statistics.
The Campus SecurityAct of 1994 (34 CFR Part 668) requires the College to report campus
crime statistics for the following categories: murder/non-negligent manslaughter,
forcible sex offenses, non-forcible sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
motor vehicle theft, arson, and negligent manslaughter.
• The campus crime statistics reports are available from Student Services or online
through the Office of Postsecondary Education at
ope.ed.gov/security
.
• The graduation completion rate report is available from Student Services.
• WNCC encourages all students to exercise their right to vote. To make this process
as streamlined as possible, a link has been provided on the WNCC website to
download a voter registration form:
sos.state.ne.us/forms
.
Traffic Regulations & Parking
Students at all campuses should park only in designated parking spaces. Red curb areas
are designated as “No Parking” and blue curb areas are designated as “Handicapped
Parking Only,” where a special sticker or license plate is required. The police will ticket
all violators of red and blue curb parking and crosswalk areas.
In the event of an accident at the College, those persons involved should notify the
appropriate police/sheriff’s department and Student Services.
