Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

It shall be the policy of the Bay de Noc Community College Board of Trustees to make buildings, grounds, and equipment available to groups and organizations upon request, provided such use is not disruptive to the purpose of the College. The Board encourages cooperation with all individuals and groups, and advocates a broad and frequent public exposure of the College and its services.

The Administration will determine the availability of facilities and shall, according to procedure, determine any cost for usage of facilities.
