MCC Campus Rules
Safety by Choice, Not by Chance.
Contraband:
- Weapons, alcohol, illegal drugs/substances, or items which pose a threat to others are not permitted in Medical Center Clinic buildings. Only on-duty law enforcement officers and security guards acting in their official capacity shall be allowed to carry firearms and/or any other type of weapon on their person on the premises, including parking lots, except to the extent permitted by law, of any Medical Center Clinic facility. Any employees, patients, or visitors who present themselves on the premises, including parking lots, of any Medical Center Clinic facility with a firearm and/or any other weapon on their person should anticipate being asked by MCC personnel to securely lock any and all weapons in their vehicle. If they choose not to securely lock any and all weapons in their vehicle, they shall be asked to remove themselves from the premises, to include parking lots, and not return until willing to securely lock any and all weapons in their vehicle while on Medical Center Clinic premises. Persons failing to comply with this expectation may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Animals:
- Non-service animals are permitted in Medical Center Clinic parking lots but should be kept away from the main entry area of any buildings.
- Service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the person’s disability prevents the use of these devices. In that case, voice, signal, or other effective means to maintain control of the animal must be used.
- Animal owners are responsible for cleaning up after their animals, both in buildings and in parking lots.
- Animals left unattended in vehicles will result in a call to the appropriate authorities.
- A respectful distance from the ducks and other animals on the campus should be maintained at all times.
- Our ducks can be fed appropriate foods such as rice, cereal, fruits, and vegetables. Bread and bread products are not appropriate foods, as such products are harmful to the ducks.
- The ducks and their eggs are Medical Center Clinic property. Removal of them from the premises is considered theft.
- Fishing in the pond is not permitted.
- Removal of turtles, fish or any other wildlife from the pond or the surrounding grounds is considered theft.
