Maintaining a Drug-Free Workplace at Montgomery College
Montgomery College is committed to maintaining a drug-free environment. In line with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, employees are reminded that the use and possession of cannabis remain prohibited on college property, which remains illegal under federal law.
As part of the College’s Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program, employees are expected to report for duty free of illegal substances or alcohol. Violations of this policy, including the unlawful use of drugs or alcohol, can result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
For detailed information about the policy and available resources, read the November 18 memo here.

Talent and Acquisition: Student Worker Extension and Separation for Spring 2025
As the fall semester concludes, please plan for your student workers’ extensions and separations for spring 2025. Managers and supervisors are responsible for processing these updates in Workday.
For Federal Work Study (FWS) students, Financial Aid will contact you directly. Be sure to wait for their continuation notice before extending or separating any FWS assignments.
If your student workers are part of Raptor Central, student recruitment, or the Office of Records and Registration, please reach out to Ms. Nichole Land before taking action.
Job aids are available to assist with the process:
- To extend employment: Ensure the student is registered for at least six (6) credits (12 for international students). Enter 5/23/2025 as the end date for the extension.
- To separate employment: If no action is taken before the assignment end date, the student worker’s employment will automatically end.
For more details, refer to the original November 4 memo here. If you have any questions, contact Josh Feranil.
