Policy Title: STUDENT REGULATIONS

East Central Community College is a state, district and community supported post-secondary institution. As such, the residents of the district hold certain expectations of the students as well as faculty, staff and administration. With this in mind the following regulations of student conduct have been developed. Recognizing that freedom is never absolute, but subject to reasonable restriction, the college expects students to conform to recognized standards of behavior, and to give serious attention to their class work. Furthermore, these behavioral regulations are in effect at all times on campus or whenever a student is representing East Central and/or whenever a student is being transported in a college-owned or sponsored vehicle. 1. East Central Community College takes pride in the appearance of its campus; therefore, students are to put trash and soft drink cans in the trash cans that are conveniently located throughout the campus.
