FAQs
Thinking about starting a club, but you don't know how to begin or who to contact? Want to experience travel and cultural events while you're at MxCC, but you're not sure where to buy tickets? Below are some commonly asked questions about what the MxCC Student Activities office has to offer and how you can participate.
1. How much time will Senate require?
The time commitment depends on the type of involvement you
choose. Senate meets 1.5-2 hours weekly all semester. Executive
Senate roles require more time than Senator at-large positions.
Meetings are arranged according to student schedules. Senate members
also meet informally to plan and organize events and prepare for
upcoming meetings. Any type of involvement with the Student Senate is
guaranteed to enhance your college career. You can devote as much of
your time to Senate as you are able. Any student may volunteer to plan
and execute events (but will not have voting rights if not a Senator).
Students may attend and observe meetings to see if serving on Senate is
for them.
2. What discounted tickets do you offer?
Destinta Theatre tickets are $6 each (sold at cost). One-day tickets
to 6 Flags in Springfield, Mass. are $25 each (regularly$39) Big E
tickets are $12 each (limited quantity; first come, first served).
3. Where do I get a bus pass?
Bus passes to MAT (Middletown Area Transit) serving Middletown,
Cromwell, East Hampton and Portland are available at the MAT office
located at 340 Main Street in Middletown, CT. Check their website at: http://www.middletownareatransit.org/
4. What kind of athletics and recreational activities do you have?
Students may borrow athletic equipment from the SAO for recreational
use outside or in the game room. We have a ping-ping, pool and
foosball table and a supply of outdoor equipment for flag football, or
other games.
5. Why doesn’t MxCC have athletic teams?
MxCC, like most community colleges, does not offer intercollegiate
athletics. This is primarily because most MxCC students are working
and unable to devote time to competitive athletics. Additionally, we
are a very small institution (2,900 students) and therefore challenged
to have enough qualified students to build full teams. Also, athletic
teams are expensive and MxCC does not have resources to pay for a
coach, transportation, uniforms, etc.
6. How can I start a club?
To start a club and receive funding, you need 4 things:
- A minimum of three officers and five additional students
- A Constitution detailing your purpose and membership
- An advisor to the club
- To complete and submit all official paperwork to Student Senate for approval
Visit the SAO to learn more and pick up the paperwork (or obtain the documents online).
