Six Primary Student Responsibilities

1. Be qualified to meet academic & technical standards. Students in college are here to prepare for career or additional schooling, so it is expected that they will meet the standards of their chosen vocation or profession. Students may now select programs that match their strengths, interests and preparation.

2. Adhere to St. Philip's policies & procedures regarding accommodation requests. They must provide acceptable and current documentation of the disability. Even "qualifying disabilities" may not require accommodation for all classes. Accommodations are determined by classes well.

3. Provide notice of the disability & make a specific request for accommodation. Merely identifying oneself as having a disability is not enough to trigger the school's responsibility to provide accommodation if that accommodation is not specifically requested.

4. Interactively participate in the accommodation process. The student has a responsibility to determine his or her own needs to the best of his or her ability. It is a student's responsibility to understand personal interests, aptitudes, and strengths/weaknesses, and to come to our campus disability support office (Educational Support Services, NTB 116) to present qualifying documentation and to request Letters of Accommodation. Students must also follow the school's policies and procedures when requesting these accommodations and using the school services.

5. Use accommodations appropriately. Requests must be timely. A student may not always get "first choice" accommodation. Objections to choices must be supported by reasons why a choice will not work. Students must maintain contact with the people providing in servicing equipment. They must fulfill school contracts and agreements for ethical use of equipment and services.

6. Adhere to a Code of Conduct. Students are expected to behave and follow the Code of Conduct for St. Philip's college.
