The Student Success Council is recommending the removal of the Accessibility of Student Services policy. The Council believes that the Accessibility of Student Services policy creates confusion by using the term "accessibility" to refer to the modality in which services are made available to students. Furthermore, the current policy's use of the terms "strives" and "where possible" result in a policy that offers no concrete guidance or requirements. Please use this form linked below to provide your feedback. Form responses are not anonymous and may be reviewed by members of governance councils voting on the policy. Feedback is due by May 18.

The Student Success Council was assigned development of a new COPPS policy for GPA Changes and is recommending a draft for consideration. Please provide all feedback on the linked Google form; feedback is due by June 1, 2026. Please note: the feedback form is not anonymous, and the feedback you provide may be discussed by governance councils at a public meeting.

Do you have a concern about a course your are taking? Please talk with your instructor, and if you don't feel comfortable talking, fill out a class concern form. Common class concerns can include: Not posting grades in a timely manner, unexpected changes in class modality/delivery, unreasonable changes to the syllabus, and grade penalties for academic misconduct without the opportunity to explain.
