Student Rights
- Freedom of Student Participation in Institutional Government
The student body shall have clearly defined means to participate in the formulation and application of institutional policy affecting academic and student affairs. - Freedom of Access
The facilities and services of the College shall be open to all of its enrolled students in accordance with policies and procedures stated in the Central Oregon Community College General Procedures Manual. - Protection of Freedom of Inquiry and Expression
Central Oregon Community College recognizes the rights of all students to engage in discussion, to exchange thought and opinion, and to speak, write, or publish freely on any subject, in accordance with the guarantees of Federal or State constitutions.
Students are free to engage in peaceful and orderly protest, demonstration, and picketing which does not disrupt the regular and essential operations of the College (See Policy Statement on Freedom of Expression and Dissent). - Freedom of Association
Students shall be free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests. - Freedom of Student Publications
Student editors and managers shall be free to develop their own editorial policies and news coverage. The advisor does not review copy unless requested to do so by a staff member. This separation helps protect the institution from legal actions relating to obscenity, criminal or civil libel or copyright infringement. In addition, the advisor offers ethics training as well as ongoing education to ensure the student newspaper is in compliance with the canons of journalism and journalistic ethics. Specific student publication rights shall follow those contained in the current student publication policies. - Notification of Rights under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA") grants students certain rights with respect to their education records. This notice summarizes the College's Student Records Access policy. This notice, all College student records access policies and procedures, and their terms, are to be interpreted and applied in accordance with FERPA and its related regulations.
In sum, the rights granted to students under FERPA are:
- A student has the right to inspect and review his/her education records within 45
days of the date the College receives a request for access. The student should submit
to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official,
a written request that identifies the records he or she wishes to inspect. The College
official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and
place where the records may be inspected.
- A student has the right to request the amendment of any student education record that
the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. A student may ask the College to
amend a record that he or she believes is inaccurate or misleading. The student should
write to the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part
of the record he or she wants changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College
will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right
to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding
the hearing procedures will be provided to the student along with the notice of a
decision by the College not to amend an education record.
- A student has the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information
contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent. For example, one exception that permits disclosure without
consent is disclosure to a school official whom the College has determined has a legitimate
educational interest in the record or information. A school official is defined as:
a person employed by the College in one or more of the following types of positions
or capacities: administrative, professional, supervisory, academic or research, health
care, or support staff; a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such
as an attorney, auditor, collection agent, or service provider); a person serving
on the Board of Trustees or an authorized College committee, such as those charged
with responsibility under College policy to review the academic, disciplinary, financial
aid, or scholarship status of students; or a student serving on an official committee,
such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official
in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest
if the official needs to review an education record or receive information from an
education record in order to perform his or her responsibilities in one or more of
the positions or capacities noted above. As another example of an exception permitted
by FERPA, the College upon request will disclose education records without consent
to other agencies or institutions in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. FERPA
also permits disclosure without consent in a number of other circumstances, including
health and safety emergencies, the lawful issuance of a subpoena or court order, audits
by federal education officials, certain disciplinary violations, certain lawsuits,
and other situations as specified in the FERPA regulations.
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged
failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address
of the federal office that administers FERPA are:
- Family Policy Compliance Office
- U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-4605
Further information about FERPA is available at the U.S. Department of Education's website, https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/ferpa

Central Oregon Community College respects the need for students to discover ways of learning including individualized and collaborative methods. Central Oregon Community College believes that the students should expect the education and degrees they receive will reflect the standards of this institution. To this end, Central Oregon Community College establishes the following academic regulations in order to maintain the academic integrity of the institution and to allow for the individual pursuit of knowledge. Academic dishonesty or an offense against academic honesty includes acts, which may subvert or compromise the integrity of the educational process at Central Oregon Community College. Such acts are serious offenses, which insult the integrity of the entire academic community of the College.
- ACADEMIC HONESTY
Offenses against academic honesty are any acts, which would have the effect of unfairly promoting or enhancing one's academic standing within the entire community of learners, which includes, but is not limited to, the faculty and students of Central Oregon Community College.

the academic honesty policy. Students may only collaborate within the limits prescribed
by their instructors.
The following is a list of some, but not all, offenses of academic dishonesty accommodated by the above definitions.

- Bringing to an examination or using crib sheets, supplementary notes, or comparable aids during an examination session except as specifically permitted by the instructor.
- Soliciting, obtaining, possessing, or providing to another person an examination or portions of an examination prior to, or subsequent to, the administration of the examination, without the authorization of the instructor.

- Altering, changing, or forging College academic records, including attendance records or sign-in sheets, regarding one or others, entering the signature of any academic officer on any official College form.
- Causing any false information to be presented at an academic proceeding or intentionally destroying evidence important to an academic proceeding.

falsified data in papers, manuscripts, books or other documents submitted for publication
or as course or degree requirements.
