Accessibility and Accommodations
PCC is committed to ensuring that classes are accessible. Disability Services [ http://www.pcc.edu/disability/ ] works with students and faculty to minimize barriers. If students elect to use approved academic accommodations, they must provide in advance formal notification from Disability Services to the instructor.
Title IX/Nondiscrimination
PCC is committed to creating and fostering a learning and working environment based on open communication and mutual respect. If you believe you have encountered sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, age, national origin, veteran status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability please contact the Office of Equity and Inclusion at (971) 722-5840 or equity.inclusion@pcc.edu.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
The Student Rights and The Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook [ http://www.pcc.edu/about/policy/student-rights/ ] establishes students' freedoms and protections as well as expectations of appropriate behavior and ethical academic work. The Handbook includes items such as the Policy on Student Rights, and the Student Code of Conduct Policy and Procedures.
"Sanctuary College" While it is important and responsible to acknowledge that the term "sanctuary college" has no legal status and does not confer legal protection to students or their families, it nonetheless offers a powerful statement of support to some of our most vulnerable students and their families at this time of uncertainty (from The Office of the President). PCC is a sanctuary college. For more information and resources, see http://www.pcc.edu/resources/undocumented-students/.
Flexibility Statement
The instructor may revise the class calendar, modify content, and/or substitute assignments in response to institutional, weather, or class situations.
