STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board of Governors of
the California Community Colleges believes that your education is important and
that the services and accommodations are to be taken seriously. Your rights and responsibilities are defined
by them in law, as well. Title V of the
California Code of Regulations is quoted below.
6008. Student Rights
- Participation by students with disabilities in Disabled Student Programs
and Services shall be entirely voluntary.
- Receiving support services or instruction authorized under this
Sub-chapter shall not preclude a student from also participating in any course,
program or activity offered by the college.
- All records maintained by DSPS personnel pertaining to students with
Disabilities shall be protected from disclosure and shall be subject to all
other requirements for handling of student records as provided in Sub-chapter 2
of Chapter 5 of this Division.
56010. Student
Responsibilities
- Students receiving support services or instruction under this
Sub-chapter shall:
- Comply with the Student Code of Conduct adopted by the college and all
other applicable statutes and regulations related to student conduct;
- Be responsible in their use of DSPS services and adhere to written
service provision policies adopted by DSPS; and
- Make measurable progress toward the goals established in the Student’s
Educational Contract or, when the student is enrolled in a regular college
course, meet academic standards established by the college pursuant to
Sub-chapter 8 of Chapter 6 of this Division.
- A district may adopt a written policy providing for the suspension or
termination of DSPS services where a student fails to comply with Sub-divisions
a2 or a3 of this section. Such policies
shall provide for written notice to the student prior to the suspension or
termination and shall afford the student an opportunity to appeal the
decision. Each student shall be given a
copy of this policy upon first applying for services from DSPS.
