Student Life Mission Statement
Student life implements programming, events and cultural experiences in order to give students:
- A sense of empowerment
- A voice in determining their future
- Leadership development
- Career exploration
- Exposure to new experiences
- A sense of self
- Opportunities for play and recreation

- Fully aware that the value of college experience for each student is greatly affected by personal needs and interests, the administration and faculty of the college regard student life as an integral part of the total education program. A conscientious effort is made to know students as individuals and to serve them as such.
Students at our college are encouraged to take advantage of the social and community service activities offered by the college. The college believes the rewards of meaningful relationships, development of skills gained through participation as a student leader, and the many benefits to athletic activity are an important part of the collegiate experience.

Advising & Counseling
Because counseling is an important part of college life, each student is assigned a faculty advisor. Students and advisors meet periodically to monitor progress and address scholastic, career, or personal concerns. Students desiring professional counseling should contact the Office of Admissions & Student Life for referrals.
The college offers a variety of counseling services to students. This includes providing assistance in selection of courses, academic advisement, and referral regarding college policies and practices, course placement assessment, job placement assistance, financial aid, and career counseling. This is accomplished through individual and group counseling sessions.
The Center for Academic Planning and Support (CAPS) staff are available for, academic, and career counseling and can assist with a referral for personal counseling. Many students experience very normal difficulties in making the transition to full-time college study; moving from adolescence to adulthood, returning to school from the labor market, balancing family, college and work responsibilities, and living away from home for the first time. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the counseling support services available to assist in these transitions.
Counselors are available Monday through Thursday, 9 AM until 8 PM, and on Friday from 9 AM until 4 PM. Students may meet with counselors on a walk-in basis or may call, to arrange an appointment.

Expenses/Insurance
Housing and Living Expenses
The College does not maintain residence halls or assume responsibility for housing. Students are advised to check on campus to see if any information about local housing options have been made available or has been posted. Arrangements and contracts for housing are solely between the student and the landlord.
Insurance
A special accident and illness insurance policy is available to all students enrolled with the seven institutions in our System. Enrollment information is provided through a mailing during the summer months or at New Student Orientation. The basic policy covers illness and accidents occurring in and out of school. Other details are available within the policy information. The college is not liable for personal injuries incurred by students who are in attendance. Students are encouraged to either provide their own coverage or purchase the insurance provided by the System. Students enrolled in programs in the Department of Health and Human Services must have some form of accident and illness insurance. Information regarding this coverage is available in the Admissions Office. All Nursing and Allied Health Students who have a clinical must have accident and illness insurance, as well as professional liability coverage. Information regarding this professional liability coverage is available in the Nursing Department. All students who wish to participate in intercollegiate athletics must produce evidence of enrollment in an accident insurance policy.

Student Life Student Senate/Clubs/Phi Theta Kappa
Student Senate
The Student Senate serves as the governing group for the student body. The primary goal of the Senate is to provide experiences that promote the general welfare of every student while at NHCTC Senate members participate in leadership training, experience the dynamics of planning activities for the student body within a budget, and extend that spirit of goodwill outside of the college community. The group manages student-activity funds and plans a variety of on-and-off-campus events such as lectures, fund raisers, ski and golf days, white water rafting trips, and other activities determined by the interest generated within the student body. The Student Senate elections are held early in the fall. Representatives are elected from each degree program. All curricula are represented through a peer election process. Representatives must be matriculated students in good standing. Senate meetings are held every Monday at noon. Check your campus for location. These meetings are open to all members of the student body. For more information, contact the Student Life Office or the Student Senate directly (contact info at bottom of page).
Clubs
Students are encouraged to pursue other interests, both social and academic, at the College through participation in the variety of student organizations. The clubs available may be different for each campus dependent upon student interests. Curriculum-related groups, such as the Student Nurses' Association, Early Childhood Education Club, History Club, Surgical Technology Club, and the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers are currently active on campus. Other student organizations found at the College include TRiO Club, Technically Speaking, The Family Programming Group and The Alternative Spring Break Club. For more information on clubs at New Hampshire Community Technical College, please email: Kathy Yazinka.
Phi Theta Kappa
The Alpha Upsilon Phi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the national honor society for two-year colleges, recognizes scholarship, leadership, and service at the college.
