What are my rights as a student?

Your CIVIL RIGHTS and the right of PRIVACY OF YOUR STUDENT RECORD are described in detail under Student Rights.

The College is committed to maintaining a positive learning environment for all students.  Any negative behavior, threats or sexual harassment will not be tolerated and should be reported to campus staff members or the Campus Police.
