Technology, Classroom, and Computer Lab Access
The Maine College of Health Professions utilizes advanced technology in its programs. Most programs at MCHP require a Windows based laptop that students bring to class. MCHP has two computer labs and standalone computer stations throughout the college for student use. The college also has public Wi-Fi for students to use their own devices. Each computer is updated with the software necessary for students enrolled at the MCHP. Students may access the classrooms and computer labs from 6 AM – 10 PM by using their college identification badge.
Gerrish-True Health Sciences Library
While enrolled at MCHP, students have access through the library to top medical databases and journals, as well as printed materials included in the library's collection. Access to online resources is available on campus and remotely through the Library's Canvas page.
The Librarian provides in-class and virtual instruction for students as well as one-on-one assistance with general research projects, APA formatting, article searching and literature reviews. Materials needed by students but not available in the Gerrish-True collection can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan.
Printing and photocopying services are available while in the library and limited to educational purposes only.
Student Leadership Opportunities
MCHP offers opportunities for student participation in program curriculum and policy revisions. Students are invited to participate in leadership and decision-making roles as class officers. Each class has their own leadership. Student involvement in these activities helps to improve the programs offered at MCHP and enables a student to develop leadership skills and assume responsibility. The college also schedules open community forums for all students to meet with staff/faculty.
Parking Facilities
Designated on-campus parking facilities are available to MCHP students with motor vehicles. Students wishing to use these parking facilities must obtain a parking application from the receptionist. There is no parking fee.
Individuals parking without a permit from MCHP, or in a non-designated parking area, will risk being towed and/or losing parking privileges.
Security
The on-campus security personnel actively assist the MCHP in maintaining a safe and orderly campus environment. The security department may be accessed by calling 2299 on-campus or 207-795-2299 off-campus.
MCHP identification badges are issued to all students, faculty, and staff. These badges must be worn while at the College and in the clinical areas. Access to the College and library may be gained by identification badge access.
Students are responsible for keeping their valuables secure and vehicles locked. Students leaving the College or clinical setting may call security for an escort to their vehicle.
Any suspicious activity noted, or actual breach of security should be reported to the security office immediately.
Health Services
Students shall be required to maintain adequate health in the interest of client welfare, including but not limited to appropriate immunizations.
Matriculated students are required to purchase accident insurance through the College. The cost will be billed to the students on an annual basis. Details of the plan are available from the Bursar.
