Diversity CenterAllegany College of Maryland educates students from all walks of life, and we appreciate the richness that differences in cultures, ideas, backgrounds, and dreams bring to our learning environment. “Diversity is ‘otherness’ or those human qualities that are different from our own, [are] outside the groups to which we belong, yet are present in other individuals or groups.” Thanks to the work of the Diversity Task Force, Allegany College of Maryland now has a Diversity Center located in Room 19 of the College Center Building (lower level). All students are urged to (1) use the Center for diversity-oriented activities, (2) befriend students who are different from you, and (3) join the Diversity Task Force as a student representative. For more information, please contact the Vice President of Student and Legal Affairs' Office by stopping by CC-128 or by calling 301-784-5206.
Student ActivitiesOrientation: All incoming, first semester students are strongly encouraged to participate in an orientation program (sessions are offered at all three campuses). The purpose of these orientations is to inform students about academic, social, and general College policy affecting their participation as students in the College. Discussion groups and social activities are planned as a vital part of the orientation program. A letter outlining the programs in detail is prepared and distributed at appropriate times in order to give adequate advance notice. Additionally, a Learning Fair is held in the College Center for incoming freshmen. Various College departments, as well as some community organizations, will exhibit a display and be available to answer questions. Student Activities: Students can take advantage of the College's diverse social, educational and recreational offerings to make the experience at Allegany College of Maryland an enjoyable one. Students may also participate in the many clubs or organizations sponsored by the Student Council. Approximately 27 clubs are currently chartered on campus and receive funds from the student fee to help in their basic operation. New clubs and organizations can be formed as interest dictates among the student body. The list of current student clubs and organizations includes:
The Student Activity Card has been replaced by student photo IDs. A student photo ID entitles students to attend many free or reduced-rate functions. These activities include admission to all athletic events, participation in the intramural program, use of gymnasium, pool and outdoor athletic facilities and the various social and educational programs sponsored by the Student Council (e.g. lectures, novelty / variety performances, luncheons, etc.). For further information, please call 301-784-5205 (Cumberland Campus), or 814-445-9848 (Somerset County Campus), or 814-652-9528 (Bedford County Campus).
Student CouncilThe Student Council functions as the governing organization of the student body. It serves as a means of participation in College governance with the faculty, staff, and administration, and acts for the students. In addition to serving as liaison between the College administration and the student body, the Student Council allocates student activity funds, coordinates campus social activities, and approves new campus student organizations. The student activity program is developed according to student interest and available resources. The Student Council meets weekly and all students are welcome to attend.
Student Advocacy DayStudent Advocacy Day is an annual event sponsored by MACC and coordinated by Maryland State VPs and Deans of Student Services. The event has three goals: letting the Maryland General Assembly know which bills pending before the legislature matter most to community college students statewide, giving our students an opportunity to meet local representatives to deliver personal messages of how ACM benefits their lives and their community, and allowing students to learn first-hand how state governments operates. ACM students are welcome to attend the event, which is typically held the 2nd Wednesday in February, by registering in the Office of the Vice President of Student and Legal Affairs.
Student HousingOff-Campus Housing: The Office of the Vice President of Student and Legal Affairs maintains a list of off-campus housing options, which is mailed to prospective students upon request. For further information, contact Joanna DuVall, 301-784-5206. On-Campus Housing:
Student Photo Identification CardsIn some instances, students may be required to show a photo ID card to obtain services at the various campuses of the College. As a way to accommodate students by providing a photo ID for College services and as a means to obtain discounts as a student in the community, photo IDs are made available to all credit at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Students are required to provide proof of ID and a current semester class schedule in order to obtain an ID. The cards are good for as long as the student is attending Allegany College of Maryland (each semester a new academic year sticker is required). Cost of Student Photo ID Cards: Dates, times, and place to have a photo ID created are posted throughout campus prior to the start of each semester. For further information, contact Joanna DuVall in the Office of the Vice President of Student and Legal Affairs (CC-128) (301-784-5206).
