Policy Notice
In accordance with Panola College policy, the College shall not permit individuals or for-profit organizations to use College facilities for financial gain.
College facilities exist for the primary purpose of providing education services to students; therefore, College-related activities receive first priority. When facilities are not otherwise committed, they may be made available at reasonable rates to community groups for activities.
Should an outside organization desire to have food served, it will be catered by the College food service. The cost of meals will be determined on an individual basis by the food service manager. No alcoholic beverages may be served or brought on campus by anyone using College facilities.
A refundable damage deposit of $120 is required prior to approval of the rental agreement.
