Personal Safety & Prevention

In the interest of personal safety, students are encouraged to observe the following: 

• Avoid isolated places, day or night
• Remember that there is safety in numbers, and always walk in pairs
• Be security-conscious…watch out for others and their property
• Report all crimes & suspicious activity to Campus Security
• Use well lighted walkways
• Park in well lighted areas, away from shrubbery and trees
• Always lock your car and remove your keys.

Sexual Assault

Sexual activity without mutual and expressed consent is sexual assault. Acquaintance/date rape is a serious problem on college campuses. Awareness and clear, assertive communication are the best tools for prevention. For more info, contact: Health Services Office, Morris Memorial Building, Rm. 108.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention

Through the Drug-free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1990, learning institutions are required to implement drug prevention programs. This includes annual notification of the following drug and alcohol abuse policy.

Modesto Junior College is committed to the success of all students. Drug and alcohol use can be a major hindrance to achieving a successful school career. There are physical and psychological health risks associated with drug and alcohol use, including but not limited to exhaustion, decreased immunity, depression, and decreased coordination. Generally, persons who use illegal drugs and/or abuse alcohol can expect a decline in their quality of life.

MJC Health Services and Wellness Programs offer education and information on drug use, and also can refer students to community agencies for counseling or rehabilitation.

According to MJC’s Standards of Conduct, students are subject to disciplinary action for the use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on college property, or during college related activities. This can include expulsion from college and/or punishment under local, state, and federal law.
