Student Affairs Vision and Mission Statements
Vision
We will be distinguished as a Student Affairs Division that provides developmentally appropriate and supportive opportunities that challenge our students to become Responsible, Resourceful and Reflective and fulfill the college mission to lead productive and fulfilling lives.
Mission
At the core of our institution is a commitment to excellence in academic instruction and scholarship and to the values of community, integrity, leadership and service. The Student Affairs Division at The College of Idaho enhances student learning and personal development by creating conditions that motivate and inspire students to devote time and energy to educationally-purposeful activities, both inside and outside the classroom. We do this by fostering a community that is civically minded, safe and inviting, and by using methods that are professional, innovative and affective.
Student Affairs Offices
The Student Affairs Offices, located primarily in the McCain Student Center and in Hendren Hall, provide a variety of services and resources for students including career counseling, internship and off-campus experience placement, student health, student activities, personal counseling, study skills assistance, campus ministry, minority and international student affairs, residence life and campus safety. Student Affairs staff members invite and encourage students to drop by and share questions, concerns or ideas about campus life or how to get involved on campus.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Student Responsibilities
Students are held responsible for reading and understanding the academic, administrative, and disciplinary policies or regulations and for understanding the the 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 The College of Idaho. 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
The College of Idaho reserves the right, and by matriculation the student acknowledges that right, to dismiss or suspend any student whose conduct is unacceptable by college standards.
Notice of Non-Discriminatory Policy
The College of Idaho admits students of any race, age, sex, color, national and ethnic origin, and religion to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, color, national and ethnic origin, and religion in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
