Educationally Supportive Environment

It is the intention of SCCC to provide both a safe and nurturing environment for students, faculty and staff. To maintain and promote that environment, the college subscribes to a specific code of conduct, which is in accord with the Washington Administrative Code for all public institutions.

For further policies and procedures outlined by the WAC, please click here WAC.

It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the Student Conduct Code, and participate positively in the SCCC environment. The Student Conduct Code is available in the SCCC Student Handbook, revised annually, and available at the SCCC Bookstore, Student Leadership, Division Offices and other locations on campus. The spirit of the code is reflected in:

• Maintaining high standards of academic integrity,
• Respecting the rights of others,
• Refraining from actions that endanger themselves or others,
• Complying with district and college rules and regulations, and
• Complying with civil authority.

Infractions of the code are subject to intervention, sanctions or disciplinary action. As faculty, if you experience classroom disruption resulting from misconduct, or witness misconduct on school premises, please see your Dean or Division Counselor and use the Student Conduct Incident Report.

While the intent of this page is informational, exact wording of the WAC provisions and any applicable policies and procedures are available from the college Vice President for Student Services and on the district website.
