Student's Rights

Student Rights

As a student you have rights that include, but are not limited to:

  • A quality education
  • A safe learning environment
  • To be respected, as well as to be respectful
  • A formal process to appeal unusual or extenuating circumstances and more...

If you are in a conflicted situation and you feel your rights are being violated, you have personal and institutional options:

  • Try to resolve it with the individual. Talk to him/her, state your feelings and the conflict. Listen to the other person. Control your emotions. Together, agree on a solution.
  • If the conflict is with another student in a classroom, ask the instructor to help resolve the issue.

If these options are not viable, fail, or do not fit the circumstance, the college has these options:

  • Read the Student Conduct Code and contact the Student Conduct Code Officer at 763-424-0736 for guidance in filing a student conduct code violation.
