91×ÔÅÄ

The 91×ÔÅÄ looks upon its students as mature individuals at an age of responsibility for their own actions. The following regulations were designed by the students, staff and faculty in order to ensure compliance with state and county laws and to promote the safe, efficient operation of the 91×ÔÅÄ. Violations of these regulations will be referred to the Vice President of Student Affairs for appropriate action, which may include a Student Affairs Committee. Failure to respond to a summons by letter, telephone call or message delivered by an 91×ÔÅÄ employee concerning a matter of conduct is considered a violation of the Student Standards of Conduct. (See the for Administration of Student Discipline Procedure.)
