Formal and informal social controls are presented daily at Montgomery College. For example formal interactions are displayed by the rules Montgomery College imposes on students. The rules include the number of times a student can be absent and/or late to class before they get dropped or the materials a student needs for certain courses. As well security at Montgomery College also enforces a smoking-free campus and non-violence. If these formal interactions are not followed thoroughly, the student jeopardizes his/her attendance to the college. Furthermore, informal social controls include the respect students automatically give to their professors because its a social norm. Also, respect is shown to one another no matter their race, even though they are strangers.
