The College Central Network is MTC's electronic career network service for both job seekers and employers. Seekers can post résumés and review current job listings. Employers, likewise, can post open positions and review potential candidates. To learn more or to register, visit the college's Website at www.mtc.edu/MTCWorks/index.html.
No children are allowed in college classrooms or laboratories during class sessions or in open labs as they may distract other students and instructors.
If you wish to contact MTC Works! or send us your resumé, use the MTC Works! email address at mtcworks@mtc.edu or contact Deb Murphy or Sheryl Rossi.
Class Attendance
For the welfare and safety of all concerned, please make appropriate child care arrangements while you are on campus.
You are expected to attend all scheduled classes. If you must miss a class on a rare occasion, you are advised to notify the instructor in advance and inquire about make-up assignments. Not all exams or assignment can be made-up, and some departments have special provisions regarding missed work and absences.
“Canvas” Course Management System Canvas is a course management software product used by faculty to deliver course materials via the Internet for nearly all courses. Registered MTC students can access Canvas using a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer®. Students are automatically enrolled in the Canvas courses when classes begin each term. The Canvas tool can be accessed on MTC’s Website, www.mtc.edu.
On-line class attendance will be recorded based upon successful completion of weekly assignments. If a student has not participated within the first two weeks of the course, the student may not be afforded the opportunity to make-up missed work. Please refer to individual course syllabi for additional information and make-up policies.
Canvas enables instructors to create discussion forums, deliver online tests and quizzes, keep track of student grades, provide copies of PowerPoint presentations, create external links to supplemental material, present video and audio, and other similar functions. In addition, Canvas provides calendaring and email functions for students.
Class Schedule The schedule of classes lists the courses scheduled for the academic term (along with the days and times offered) and is published each term before registration opens. The class schedule is available on the MTC website.
Instructors may provide an orientation session during the first week of class. If you are unfamiliar with using Canvas, please let your instructor know. Students who enroll in an online course are expected to be proficient with successfully navigating Canvas prior to enrolling. Support for Canvas is available by e-mailing helpdesk@mtc.edu.
Class Section Transfer To transfer from one class section to another after the fifth day of the semester and before the tenth business day before the end of the semester, you must complete a section transfer form available from the Office of Student Records. Approval from a department dean or director is needed in order to change class sections.
Cancellation/Change of Classes Courses that have fewer than 12 students enrolled may be canceled prior to the first day of class. Should a class be canceled, you will be notified in advance to the extent possible.
College Catalog
In the event individual class sessions are canceled by the instructor, signs will be posted in the classroom.
The official college catalog contains information on program requirements and course descriptions. Changes in courses, policies, and/or degree requirements are usually reflected in the most recent catalog.
Cell Phone/Communication Device Usage Policy
College Closing
All personal communication devices, including cell phones, must be set to vibrate or off while in classrooms, labs, and participating in other class-related activities, unless use of such a device is specified in the official course syllabus. Infractions will result in warnings and, eventually, grade-related penalties. Exceptions must be approved in writing by the instructor.
Should it be necessary to close the college due to weather or other emergency reasons, official notifications will be made by the Office of the President and announced on area radio and television stations, the MTC Web site, Canvas, and the MTC phone system. The college may have to close for emergencies other than weather, so it is always advisable to tune in or check the Web site if you have a long distance to drive.
Additionally, all personal communication devices, including cell phones, must be deactivated (turned completely off) during exams, quizzes or other evaluations. Any student found to be using a communication device during an exam will be given a grade of zero for the exam.
Closing of OSUM does not necessarily mean MTC will be closed. In some situations, classes may be canceled at an off-campus location but not on-campus, and vice-versa.
Children on Campus
The following radio and television stations will broadcast MTC closing announcements:
Children must be under adult supervision at all times while on campus. Marion Technical College cannot assume responsibility for your child's entertainment or safety.
