STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Students are expected to take responsibility for their education at SLCC and obtain assistance from other student services such as academic advising, the library, the learning center etc.

Students of Salt Lake Community College who are registered with the Disability Resource Center are expected to adhere to college policies, the Student Code of Conduct and DRC procedures.

Student are expected to cooperate with their DRC Advisor by attending scheduled appointments, obtaining training on adaptive equipment, and participating in other required activities.

Students are expected to maintain borrowed equipment in good condition and return it in a timely manner. If borrowed equipment is not returned when agreed upon, a hold can be placed on your registration and grade transcript.

Students are responsible for the delivery of Accommodation Authorization Letters to designated instructors and to make contacts with instructors and service providers when appropriate.

Students are required to sign a Release of Information form which allows the DRC to share information with others in the college community on a need to know basis. They may allow the DRC to contact others regarding their situation by providing written authorization.

If a student does not show up within 15 minutes of the start of class, the interpreter, or service provider, will leave and report the absence to the DRC. If three consecutive classes are missed (without receiving prior approval) or if there is a pattern of missing classes on a regular basis, services may be suspended until after you meet with a DRC Advisor.

General college policy states that a total of nine unexcused absences, for any class, can result in your receiving a failing grade.  Some departments have more stringent policies.  It is a student's responsibility to check the syllabus for each class.  Under ADA, requests to waive attendance policies for a class, are limited and must meet very specific guidelines and require departmental approval.
