Know Your Responsibilities as a Volunteer

• You are required to engage in responsible social conduct that reflects credit upon the MCC Community and to model good citizenship in any community.
• Submitting false information regarding completed volunteer hours is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and may result in students becoming ineligible for the MCC Promise, Presidential Talent scholarship or other programs in future semesters.
• MCC students are expected to demonstrate qualities of morality, integrity, honesty, civility, honor and respect. MCC may initiate disciplinary action and impose sanctions against any student or student organization found responsible for committing, attempting to commit, or intentionally assisting in the commission of any of the prohibited forms of conduct listed in the Student Code of Conduct.
