The College strives to make the campus a place of study and work where people are treated, and treat one another, with respect and courtesy. The College views the student conduct process as a learning experience that can result in growth and personal understanding of one s responsibilities and privileges within both the university community and the greater community. All students must follow these standards. These procedures are designed to provide fairness to all who are involved in the conduct process. Please refer to the student handbook for the full student conduct policy. This handbook is available at the Welcome Center on the 2nd floor. SPECIAL NEEDS Students who have special needs or who are disabled must selfidentify and provide documentation of their specific disability to a counselor. This must be done at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the course. This will allow the College to make an effort to accommodate special needs students. Please call the Student Disability Coordinator at (860) for additional information and assistance. 20
