Housing Although on-campus housing is not available, NCNM is located near residential areas with ample rentals at reasonable rates. Students may contact the Office of Student Life for additional information or consult the postings on NCNMlist, an online forum, for opportunities.
Student Identification Cards All students receive a photo identification card on completion of new student orientation. Wearing a photo ID is recommended at all college facilities, and required at all NCNM clinics and for entrance to the main campus after hours. This card will also allow students to check out books at the NCNM library and at several other Portland college libraries (Oregon Health & Science University, Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, University of Western States and Linfield College Portland campus) with which NCNM has borrowing agreements.
Substance Abuse Policy and Program NCNM is in compliance with U.S. Public Law 100-297 and the Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994 (U.S.
Public Law 103-382). NCNM policy prohibits unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs by students or employees on or off the college premises. A copy of the Substance Abuse Policy and Program is contained in the Student and Employee Handbooks.
Remote Classroom and Children on Campus A remote classroom with audio/video live feeds is available for nursing mothers. Others may petition for permission to use from the Office of Student Life. Please note that not all classes are available for remote viewing due to the nature of some classes and specific instructor requirements. Babies in arms are permitted in the remote room, but parents must find off-site childcare once babies become mobile or are over 12 months of age. Due to academic concerns regarding class participation and video education, students are permitted to use the remote classroom for a maximum of two quarters per infant during their program at NCNM. Babysitting is not available on campus, nor is it possible to make private arrangements for on-campus babysitting. Parents are required to make suitable arrangements for off-site childcare so that they can attend class.
