OFFICE OF STUDENT SERVICES

The Office of Student Services has the responsibility of providing for a wide diversity of programs andservices to the students of
West Georgia College. To facilitate these activities,-the Office of Student Services is divided in to three mo/or areas: Student
Academic Services, Student Development Services, and Student Life Services. This handbook has been organized so that it fo//ows
the organizational pattern of the offices of Student Services. These various agencies exist to serve the student and each student
should have no hesitancy in contacting any office for information or assistane. We hope that you will read this handbook and use it
as a guide as you become familiar with the collegiate way of life at West Georgia Co//ege. _

L STUDENT ACADEMIC SERVICES

ADMISSION'S OFFICE

All new students, both freshmen end transfer students, must submit applications and be processed by the Admissions. Since
those reading this handbook are presumed to be enrolled studen^, familiarity with this office should already exist.
REGISTRAR'S OFFICE

This office has primary responsibility for scheduling all classes, maintaining all academic records on students, coordinating
registration procedures, evaluating a student's progress toward a degree, recommending studer^ts for graduation, providing tran-
scripts to employers and other institutions (usually graduate) and publishing the Gsl lege Bulletin annucdiy and quarterly. jEach
student at the college will be in frequent contact with this office and should become thoroughly farmliar wilfh its many services.
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE

Financial aid is available to students to attend the College. The federal and state governments, the College, and many foun-
dations, companies and individuals provide funds for worthy and deserving students. A program of financial support is tailored to
meet the needs and special circumstances of each student. The program may involve a combination of the various types of
available aid, and most of the aid programs may be renewed each year. Therefore, a student may be assured of financial aid
throughout his college years.

The Director of Financial Aid adminsters the various programs that are available at West Georgia College. Financial policies and
scholarship awards are approved by the Student Services Committee of West Georgia College.
PLACEMENT OFFICE

The chief goal of the Placement Office is to offer students and alumni a professional placenient service. Counseling in the area
of employment opportunities and placement is available to all students currently enrolled, those Avho previously attend, and those
whose applications for admission have been accepted. The Placement Office maintains continuous communications with em-
ployers and assists students and alumni with employment opportunities which are available. Notification of on-campus interviews
is given to seniors by mailings and by announcements in the college newspaper and the placernent bulletin board. Dossiers are
prepared for all graduating seniors and for alumni who seek help in placement. Personal data and credentials are sent to a
prospective employer upon request from the registrant or the employer, or when an employer requests referrals of qualified can-
didates. The Placement Service also aids students in obtaining part-time employment, while in school, and furnishes information
concerning graduate schools and general fields of employment.

HEALTH SERVICES

The student infirmary is under the daily supervision of a full-time physician. Nurses are on duty 24 hours a day.

For observation and minor illness, students are admitted to the infirmary as directed by the physician. All students who do not
hove meal tickets for the college dining room must pay for meals while confined to the infirmary.

Tanner Memorial Hospital in Carrollton offers modern services for medical and surgical cases. The student must assume all ex-
penses incurred through the use of the hospital facilities.

An accident-health insurance policy is available to all students. The cast is not included in the fees paid to the College. A
brochure containing information on the policy will be mailed to each student prior to registration. Payment should be made directly
to the representatives of the insurance company who will be on<ampus at the time of registration.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS _

The office for International Students is located in Mandeville Hall, and all eritering foreign students ake requested to report to this
office as soon as they arrive on campus. The foreign student may receive information on |iousing, immigration matters, finances
and any other area where students from other countries need assistance in becdmitig iritegi^bfe^^ Into the ccHlege community.
WOMEN'S CENTER

The West Georgia Women's Center in Mandeville is open to serve all wopnen, bpth students and faculty. The purpose of the
Women's Center is maximizing the growth and future of all women. General counseling is offered on careers, groduate school, j0b
openings and other matters that arise as women seek to broaden their fields of expertise.

Academic Information

Students are referred to the General Catalog for academic information concerning grades, class standing, probation, exclusion,
and readmission. The Dean of Student Services and the Registrar are available if assistance is needed in the interpretation of
academic regulations.

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Each student is assigned to a faculty member who serves as his academic advisor and assists him in planning his program of
study. The student is expected to consult with his advisor on all matters relating to his major and related work and to seek advice on
other questions concerning his academic program.

Records for each student are compiled from admission documents, grade reports, test results, and reports from faculty advisors.
Tests ore available to assess academic potential, vocational aptitude, and personal adjustment.

It is the student's responsibility to select and register for the proper course needed for his major program and which will enable
him to satisfy degree requirements at the time he expects to graduate. In selecting courses he may step up one level of course
numbers or down one, i.e., a freshman may step up to a 200-level course or a junior may step down to a 200-level course. If the
student registers for a course for which he has received credit at West Georgia College or elsewhere, he forfeits the course credit.
CLASS ATTENDANCE

Each instructor determines the specific abserSce policy in his class. It Is expected that he wiM announce that policy during the first
few meetings of the class. He judges whether absences are justified and determines If a student should remain in class or be drop-
ped. In all cases the student is responsible for all material presented In class and for all announcements and assignments.

Circulars inform the instructor of absences resulting from college-sponsored activities, and each student is issued a slip when he
enters the infirmary. The student is expected to explain all other absences to each of his instructors. Any non-dormitory student who
must be absent for more than three successive days is required to notify the Office of the Dean of Student Services.

If a student for legitimate reasons is unable to continue attendance In a class he should formally drop the class or withdraw from
the College; otherwise a grade of F will be recorded.

A freshman student failing to earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 1 .5 after attempting 45 hours (or three quarters)
will be dismissed.

Students other than freshmen will be evaluated quarterly on the basis of cumulative grade point overage for the total number of
hours attempted. Hours transferred will be included in determining the total hours attempted; however, the cumulative grade
point average will be computed only on work completed at West Georgia College. A student failing to earn the cumulative grade
point overage required for the total number of hours attempted as indicated below will be dismissed.

significant progress toward doing so (overall 2.0 in at least 10 hours). The student showing significant progress may remain on
probation an additional quarter in order to earn the cumulative grade point overage required (overall 2.0 In at least 10 hours).

PROCEDURES FOR APPEALS HEARING ON UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION OR RE ADMISSION

The admissions policy of West Georgia College is designed to admit those students who will hove a reasonable chance of suc-
cess and who seemingly will profit from the educational program of the College. A student is considered for admission without
regard to race, creed, sex, or national origin. Admission requirements are those stated in the most current issue of the West Georgia
College Bulletin.

Whenever an applicant for admission or reodmission to the undergraduate school shall be denied admission or shall feel that
his/her application has not been given due consideration, such applicant shall have the right to appeal in accordance with the
following procedure:

1 . The applicant shall submit his/her appeal in writing to the Director of Admissions. The applicant shall explain the
reasons for his/her appeal and enumerate all factors, both personal and academic, which he/she considers to be

cies and Procedures, for recommendation regarding the case to the Director of Admissions.

( 1 ) The applicant shall be advised of his/her right to appear in person before the Committee;

(2) The applicant appearing before the Committee shall hove the right to be assisted by an advisor of his/-
her choice;

(3) The Committee will review all facts and circumstances connected with the case. All matters upon
which the decision will be based must be introduced during the proceedings before the Committee.

PROCEDURES IN APPEALS ON GRADES

Educational institutions have the responsibility for evaluating students by standards and a grading system which is publicized
and known to faculty and students. The responsibility for determining the grade of each student rests on the faculty member who
has responsibility for teaching the course in which the student is enrolled. A grade originally assigned may be changed only with
the consent of the faculty member responsible for the grade, unless the change is made for process reasons only.

A student who feels that the grade he/she received in the class is arbitrary or unfair is entitled to a hearing before an impartial
committee of the faculty. However, before appealing to the Committee, the student should exhaust all administrative remedies
through the department chairmen and appropriate deans. In order to guarantee procedural fairness to both the student and the
faculty member involved the following procedures shall govern such hearings:

1. The hearing committee shall be the Subcommittee on Academic Appeals of the Faculty Senate Committee on
Academic Policies and Procedures. The Subcommittee shall be composed of those faculty members who con-
stitute its regular membership. No member of the Committee who is otherwise interested in the particular case
shall sit in judgement during the proceeding.

2. Both the student and the faculty member shall be present during the hearings (except when the Committee
deliberates for its decision). Each shall be given opportunity to present his/her case and to refute the case pre-
sented by the other.

3. The burden of proof of arbitrary or unfair grading rests on the student. The student should realize such a charge is
a serious one and refrain from taking capricious action.

4. All matters upon which the decision will be based must be introduced during the proceedings before the Com-
mittee. The decision shall be based solely upon such matters.

; 5. Upon finding for the student, the Committee will in each instance attempt to counsel the faculty member to
voluntarily redress the grievance. In the event such counselling is ineffective, the Committee may recommend
disciplinor/ action against the faculty to be taken by the appropriate administrative official.

monious living, broadened horizons, and increased human understanding are all desired results of the residence experience. The
environment of a hall is largely dependent upon the cooperation, interest and participation of each student. Individual respon-
sibility and initiative are essential characteristics of communal living. Most of the West Georgia living centers have been con-
structed in the last ten years. They not only meet the physical needs of comfort, safety and attractive surroundings, but also aid in
the development of a disciplined mind, a social consciousness and a large degree of responsibility for governing a group's affairs.

responsibility for the areas of building management, programming, and orientation. Assisting the area coordinators are resident
advisors, wing advisors or head residents who have an interest in providing a desirable environment for residents.

however, cannot guarantee these preferences. If the Housing Office cannot honor preferences, it will make assignments at its own
discretion.

Freshman Housing Since room assignements are affected to a large extent by the freshman housing program, it is important
that all students read the information on the application care before determining their preference.

Private Rooms A limited number of private rooms are available at an additional charae of $50.00 per quarter (with the ex-
ception of Tyus Hall). Private room rates for Tyus Hall are specified in the Tyus Hall brochure.

Students desiring private accommodations must sign a private room agreement which is binding for the academic year or the
remainder of the academic year if the private room is requested after the beginning of fall quarter. A private room reservation may
be cancelled only if a written cancellation is submitted to the Housing Office prior to the beginning of a quarter for which the can-
cellation is desired, (i.e., a request must be submitted prior to the end of fall quarter if a student wishes to drop the private room for
winter quarter.) If such cancellation procedures are not followed the student will automatically be billed for the private room. Once
ce a quarter has begun (i.e., residence hall opening day) a private room request cannot be cancelled unless the student has
another student move into his private room during the room change period or the student with the private room moves into a room
with another student. In either cose written cancellation must be submitted by the student with the private room to the Housing Of-
fice. If a student moves into an empty room without a roommate during a room change, the room will be classified as private and
an additional prorated charge will be made.

Consolidation Authority - A student living alone but who has not properly requested a private room may be required to either
pay the private room rate or move to a double occupancy room. This policy is necessary in order to achieve equity and efficiency in
the residence halls. The Housing Office reserves the right to make arbitrary reassignments for those students who refuse to
cooperate with this policy.

HOUS/NG AGREEMENT

The housing agreement is binding for one quarter. (The living accommodations in the residence halls normally are not available
during times when the College is not in session.)

Special arrangements must be approved by the Housing Office. The Director of Housing reserves the right to:

( 1 ) Change room assignements at any time;

(2) Use any or all rooms over holiday periods;

(3) Inspect student rooms at times convenient to the staff to insure health and safety standards.

Generally, notifications for such inspections will be given in advace.
Til* CoUmg* may t*rmlnat thit agrmnt and tak* posiattlon of lh room at any tim* for lioolth rvoton* or for violation of Inttltutlonal rogulotlon*.

Koy Deposits Each student will be required to pay a $5.00 key deposit per key when checking into college housing and an ad-
ditional charge of $1 .00 will be made for each key replaced during the year ($2.50 for Tyus Hall). The key deposit will be refunded
when the student checks out of college housing and returns the key. Duplication or possession of unauthorized keys by a student is
prohibited.

Damages - A student will be held responsible for any and all damages to, or loss of, college property within the assigned room.
In the case of more than one occupant in a room, one or all will be held responsible for damages. Refund of the $25.00 housing
deposit will be held until payment of damages is made to the College. This $25.00 deposit may be applied toward the damage

charge.

Loss of Student Property - Each student is urged to provide for the security of his own belongings by locking the room when it is
not occupied and by carrying personal property insurance. The College is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal
property of the occupants for whatever reason.

Room Charge Refund of room charges for withdrawal during a quarter will be made on the following pro-rated basis:

During the first week 80% refund

During the second week 60% refund

During the third week 40% refund

During the fourth week 20% refund

Thereafter -no refund

HOUSING REGULATIONS

Student Rooms - Room keys are issued only by the Housing Office. Keys should never be duplicated.

Rooms are equipped to meet average student needs. Residents are held responsible for the furnishings in their rooms, and
damage to college property will be charged to the resident. Furnishings may not be moved from one room to another. Furnishings
in lobbies, lounges, etc., are inventoried and may not be removed from these areas unless authorized by Residence Hall Staff.
Screens are not to be removed and clothing or other articles are not to be placed on Venetian blinds as this has a tendency to bend
and/or rust the blinds. Fans are permitted buut should not be placed in windows.

Upkeep of student rooms is the responsibility of the individual resident. Cleaning materials for your use are provided in the
custodial closets in each hall. These supplies may be checked out through the Resident Advisor. Trash should be placed in recep-
tacles and not swept into the corridor. From time to time students have requested custodian to perform special cleaning services.
This practice is not authorized. It is embarrassing for the custodians to refuse your requests; however, if they do provide such ser-
vices, they may lose their jobs. Custodians will empty trash cans placed outside your door and return the empty containers. Empty
containers should be removed from the corridor immediately.

Painting of student rooms is permitted only with prior approval from the Housing Office.

Ovornight Guosts Overnight visitors of the same sex may be entertained in the hall. All guests must conform to hall
regulations, and the student host or hostess is held responsible for his or her guest. Guests must have permission from the occupants
of a room before they can stay there overnight.

Privacy It is the intention of the Housing Office to insure, as much as possible, the individual student's right to privacy in a
residence hall room. Insofar as students do not violate institutional regulations or civil law, they may be assured that their privacy
will not be violated by college officials. The College does reserve the right to inspect students' rooms at times convenient to the
staff to insure health and safety standards. Generally, notification for such as inspection will be given in advance. It must be point-
ed out, however, that if a college official has reason and probable cause to believe that a law is being violated or an institutional
regulation broken, he has the legal right to enter and search a student's room. If a violation is consequently discovered, disciplinary
action may be taken by the College, but there will be no civil action taken against a student. Before any low enforcement officer
has the right to enter and seqrch any student's room, he must either secure permission from the student or be in possession of a
fully authorized search warrant. The Resident Advisors in each residence hall are in possession of a master key. These keys exist
primarily for the convenience and safety of the students and are not to be used by Resident Advisors to enter a student's room
without permission.

Soarch and Saizuro It is the policy of the Student Services Division and the Housing Office in particular to conform to existing
laws when working with those cases where a search of a student's room in a campus resident hall is involved.

Curfow and signout - No female student will be required to sign in or out of the residence hall during the normal open hours.
The official closing hour for women's residence halls is 12:00 midnight Sunday through Thursday and 2=00 A.M. Friday and Satur-
day evenings. If a student does not plan to return by the official closing hour, she may sign out for a front door key. All students
who hove signed out for a front door key must return it to the properly designated area before 1 :00 P.AA. Students who return their
keys late will be fined $1.00. A student losing the key will be fined $ 10.00. Any ttudMit found guilty of abulngth*k*y prlvil*g will r*c*lv*
automatic ditcipllnary probation.

Open Houco Open house hours may not exceed the maximum limits established by the College (i.e., not before noon on any
day and not after the closing hour of women's residence halls). Any building housing freshmen women will be limited fall quarter
to one week-day and weekends (Friday and Saturday) for open house hours. This regulation is subject o change at the beginning
of winter quarter upon a majority vote of residents. In upperclass female buildings open house hours will be determined at the
beginning of fall quarter by a majority vote of residents. There will be shared responsibility between male and female students
who are in violation of the open house policy.

Applicancof and Eloctrical Equipmont Policy - The following items are permitted in the residence halls provided they are U.L.
(Underwriters' Laboratories) approved: Study Lamps, Typewriters, Television (limit one per room). Radios, Record Players, Tape
Recorders, Clocks, Extension Cords (not exceeding 8', limit two per room). Grounded Television Antennas, Refrigerators (not ex-
ceeding 3' in height, nor exceeding 2 amps). Heating Pads, Electric Shavers, Hair Dryers, Hair Setters, Electric Blankets, Fans and
Immersable Coffee Percolators.

Plates, Extension Cords with multiple outlets (cube taps). Waffle Irons, Immersion Coils, Air Conditioners, Electrical Fry Pans, and
Electrical Boilers.

These items are prohibited primarily because of their potential as a source of fire in the residence halls. Secondarily, the use of
food preparation applicances tend to increase and encourage pests such as roaches, rats, and other undesirable insects.

KItchons - Kitchens are available in all halls for preparing snacks and hot drinks. Although food preparation is not permitted in
student rooms, non-perishable food for immediate consumption (i.e., care packages from home) will be permitted only if stored in
a sealed Container. Apparatus for the preparation of food is permitted in student rooms if it complies with the above stated
regulations.

Pot - Pets are not allowed in the halls at any time, with the exception of tropical fish or turtles. Each resident is permitted one
aquarium with maximum capacity of 10 gallons. All electrical and mechanical equipment must be U.L. approved.

PIroarmt, FIroworkt and InflammobUt - Candles, fire crackers, explosives and chemicals such as gasoline, benzine and nap-
that may not be used or stored in student rooms. (Soe Gorgio Rogulotlons Criminal Code, Section 26-1404 and 26-1405). The

21

possession of firearms, projectile propelling devices, ammunition, or weapons of any kind is prohibited in student rooms.
Xirrarigements for storage of firearms must be mode with the head resident or area coordinator.

Fire qnd Fire Sofefy JEqitlpment - At the beginning of each quarter instructions will be given by the Resident Advisor as to what
route to follow in case of fire. This route will be posted on the bulletin board and it is your responsibility to be familiar with it. All
students ore required to cooperate completely in any fire drills conducted during the year. During a fire drill or actual fire, wear
your shoes and raincoat while vacating the building and also carry a towel which con be placed over your face to help protect
against the heat and smoke.

Escape diogroms, fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and fire safety doors ore all classified as Life Safety Equipment. Tampering
with such equipment endangers the lives of others and will not be tolerated. Setting fires or turning in false alarms is a serious of-
fense (State Regulation Crminal Code, Section 5-1501 , 26-1502, 91-107 A, 91-9906).

Vendors and Salesmen For the protection of students and to prevent interruptions of students, solicitation or selling is not per-
rtiitfed iri the residence halls. If you encounter a sales person in the residence hall, notify your Resident Advior or Wing Ad-
visor/Head Resident immediately.

Theft - The College is not responsible for loss or damage to personal property. Thefts which occur in the residence halls should
be reported immediately to the Wing Advisor/Head Resident and the Department of Public Safety. Students ore reminded to lock
their doors whenever they 4^ve their rooms.

Bicycle and Motorcycl* Storage - The storage of bicycles and motorcycles in student rooms or elsewhere in the residence hall is
prohibited.

STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

Students ore admitted to West Georgia College with the expectation fhat they will have developed acceptable personal stan-
dards of conduct and ethics. Also, students are expected to hove a responsible attitude toward regulations and standards of the
college, and the lavwi of the community, state and nation, and to respect the standards of their fellow students. Students assume
responsibility for their own conduct, and through their hall councils and the student judiciary system, accept responsibility for the
behavior of their fellow students.

College regulations go into effect at the time a student matriculates and continue until the time of graduation or withdrawal. By
the act of registratien the student implies and acceptance of the standards and regulations which are stated in this handbookand in
other publications of the college. Students should realize that any behavior which reflects adversely upon the students of West
Georgia College or upon the College will moke the individual involved liable for disciplinary action. This is true whether the in-
cident occurs on campus or off campus.
DRESS

West Georgia College students are receiving an education preparing them for entrance into various professions. During one's
college years, one should develop a practice of dressing in a manner which is appropriate for the occasion and in good taste.

One should remember that as o West Georgia College student, he is a representative of the college in the eyes of the public
b6th on-compusiGind off-cofhpus -^and ^tould, therefor'e, dressaccordingly.

Campus dress is tr^ted primarily as a matter of individual taste and style. Students, however, ore encouraged to be neat and
clean and to exet^cise good judgement.
SMOKING

No smoking is permitted in the gymnasium or the library except in special areas. Smoking, whether by faculty or students, is not
permitted in the cliassrooms wK^ile class is in session. Smoking is permissible in he classroom between classes and at other times,
provided appropriate receptacles ore used.
REGENTS' STATEMENT ON DtSRUPTtVE BEHAVIOR

The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive behavior in any institution of the University System. The
rights, responsibiliti^ and prohibitions contained in this Statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations.

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reaffirms its policies to support fully freedom of expression by each
member of the academic community and to preserve and protect the rights and freedom of its faculty members and students to
ert^age in debate, decision, peaceful and non-disruptive protest and dissent. The following statement relates specifically to the
problem described below. It does not change or in any way infringe upon the Bbard'^s existing policies and practices in support of
freedom of expression dnd action. Rather, it rs considered necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and
obstructive acfions by students and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through whjch
it operates.

In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college and university conripuses in the nation. Some students
faculty members, and otheils have on occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins and other activities that hove clearly and
deliberately interfered with the regular arid orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have been the
physical occupation of a building or campus area for a protracted period of time or the use or display of verbal or written ob-
scenities involving indecent or disorderly conduct.

These actions hove gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for discussion, persuasion, or even protest in
that-. (1 ) acquiescence to demands of the demonstrators is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written direc-
tions of institutional officials to disperse have been ignored. Such activities thus have become clearly recognizable as on action of
force, operating outside all established chanriels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persuasion which are at
the very heart of education.

The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the Constitution of the Stote of Georgia, under all ap-
plicable court rulings, end in keeping with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Board is ultimately responsible
for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the University System and the preservation of academic freedom in these in-
stitutions. The Board cannot. and will not divert itself of this responsibility.

Of equal, or even greater importance, such action of force as has been described above destroys the very essence of higher
education. This once is found in the unhampered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect or issue of
life. This freedom, which reaches its full flowering on college and university campuses, is an essential part of American democracy,
comparable to the jury system or the electoral process.

For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifically to this new problem the Board of Regents stipulates that any
student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly obstructs or disrupts
any teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized to be discharged or
held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irrespon-
sibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of employment.

The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic community are under a strong obligation and have a mutual
responsibility to protect the campus community from disorderly, disruptive, or obstructive actions which interfere with academic
pursuits of teaching, learning, and other campus activities.

The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with resolutions adopted by the American Association of Univer-
sity Professors in April, 1968, by the Association of American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Committee of the
Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher
education. (Minutes, 1968-69, pp. 166-169).
DEMONSTRATIONS

Recognizing the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly is fundamental to the democratic process, the College supports the
rights of students to express their views or to peacefully protest and peacefully dissent against actions and opinions with which they
disagree.

On-campus demonstrations, cleared at least 48 hours in advance through the office of the Dean of Student Affairs, may be con-
ducted in areas which are generally available to students, provided such demonstrations are conducted in qn orderly manner, do
not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic, do not interfere with classes, scheduled meetings and ceremonies, or with other
events and processes of the College. In no case shall demonstrators be permitted to enjoy the freedoms and rights of other mem-
bers of the college community.

Non-members of the college community shall not be permitted to engage in activities which disrupt, obstruct, or in any way in-
terfere with the pursuits of teaching, learning, campus activities, or any college process.
CHANGING STUDENT CONDUCT CODE

The Student Government Association shall be empowered to recommend desired changes through the offices of the Dean of
Student Services and the President of the College. Students shall be notified of approved changes through announcement in the
West Georgian. Changes will become effective upon publication.
