Smoking:

Beginning with the Spring 2007 semester, College of the Siskiyous will be providing Designated Smoking Areas for our students and community members that smoke. Smoking will also be permitted in personal vehicles.  All other areas on campus will be NO SMOKING areas. The new smoking areas will be designated by brown tables and benches as well as signage and maps. While College of the Siskiyous anticipates voluntary compliance, there are provisions for conduct sanctions for failure to follow this new Board Policy.  Please direct any questions about the new smoking policy to Campus Safety at 530-938-5237.

Support Hour Requirement:
The support hour provides students with professional assistance, supplemental instruction and remediation opportunities to help improve student success. Supervised support is offered for reading, writing, math, information technology, computer competency, and other skills outside of discipline specific content. During the semester, students will complete a variety of tasks related to this course that will necessitate the services available through the support hour. These tasks will include discussion of writing assignments with lab staff; use of MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Access to present work or complete homework; exploration of course CD-ROM or course software. Student use of the support hour will be assessed, as outlined in the Grading section.

Student Sensitivity Issues:

Students, staff and Faculty at the College the Siskiyous may have allergies, environmental illnesses, multiple chemical sensitivity, or related disabilities.  Please keep this in mind when deciding to smoke or in selecting and applying personal care products.

 

Academic Accommodations:

            Students have the right to request reasonable modifications to college requirements, services, facilities or programs if their documented disability imposes an educational limitation or impedes access to requirements, services, facilities or programs.  A student with a disability who requests a modification, accommodation, or adjustment is responsible for requesting necessary accommodations by identifying himself/herself to the instructor and, if desired, to the Disabled Student Programs and Services(DSPS) office Eddy Hall 1. 

            Students with a print disability--a visual limitation or reading difficulty that limits access to traditional print materials--may request printed materials in alternate media.  Examples of alternate media formats include electronic format (e.g., text on CD), Braille, tactile graphics, audiotape, and/or large print. Students can make alternate media requests through the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S) Eddy Hall 1, 938-5297.

            Students who consult or request assistance from DSPS regarding specific modifications, accommodations, adjustments, alternate text or use of auxiliary aids will be required to meet timelines and procedural requirements established by the DSPS office.
