printable version

Albertson College Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy. Any editorial or typographical errors, which may be present, do not change policy as formulated by the faculty and administration of the college. Albertson College reserves the right to change or withdraw courses, to change fees, rules and calendar for admission, registration, instruction and graduation, and to change other regulations affecting the student body, at any time.

Student Responsibilities

Students are held responsible for reading and understanding the academic, administrative, and disciplinary policies or regulations and for understanding the General Graduation Requirements as published in the catalog when they matriculate. They are held responsible for the requirements of a major in effect at the time they officially declare a major. If students change majors, they are responsible for the requirements of the major in effect when they officially change majors.

Graduation Requirements

Requirements for graduation as well as those for various majors and minors may change after students matriculate at Albertson College. Such changes will not be retroactive, although students will have the option to elect to meet the new requirements, if desired. Exceptions may be necessary when changes in professional certification or licensure standards mandate such changes in requirements.

Confidentiality of Records

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, P.L. 93-380, as amended by P.L. 92-318, eligible students may review personal educational records, have the opportunity to correct information in those records, and limit disclosure of information from those records. For procedures, contact the Registrar's Office.

Dismissal and Suspension

Albertson College reserves the right, and by matriculation the student acknowledges that right, to dismiss or suspend any student whose conduct is unacceptable by college standards.

Special Facilities and Services

As a general statement, Albertson College does not have specially developed facilities or designed student services to attract and meet the needs of students with severe disabilities. Further description of special facilities needed should be directed to the Dean of Student Affairs or to the Disability Services Coordinator for research and response.
