Student Expectations, Rights and Responsibilities. Students in dual credit classes are considered to be College students and are subject to all College policies and procedures. Dual credit students must comply with standards of conduct required of all ACC students, and have the same rights and responsibilities in all matters related to the dual credit programs. Dual credit students must also follow the ISD Student Code of Conduct. Unless a conflict arises between the obligations of ISD and ACC under their respective policies and procedures, the ISD and ACC staff and administrators will work together collaboratively to determine the appropriate party to initiate an investigation or resolution process in response to the alleged conduct violation(s). In the event a conflict arises, refer to Section 4 on Conflict Resolution. Neither party is prohibited from utilizing its own complaint resolution process, separate and apart from the other party’s process, but both parties shall cooperate with each other to provide the necessary information and access to students and employees necessary to fulfill each party’s obligations under its own specific policies and procedures. The ISD and ACC agree to inform the other as soon as reasonably possible (within at least two business days) if a dual credit student is subject to disciplinary action that may affect his or her enrollment status as a dual credit student. Regardless of the location of the conduct, if the ISD’s Code of Conduct and disciplinary processes could result in removal from the regular education program due to a suspension, placement in an disciplinary alternative education program, or expulsion/removal to a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program, the ISD shall notify ACC prior to the finalization of any disciplinary action in response to the alleged student behavior so that ACC may determine if there are any potential consequences under applicable College policies or procedures that could result in removal from enrollment in a dual credit class. In addition, as per the ACC Student Standards of Conduct, ACC has the right to immediately remove any student from its premises via the interim suspension process, upon a determination by the administrator in charge that the student poses an immediate threat to the safety of ACC’s enrolled students, clients, faculty, staff, and patrons or to the orderly functioning of the ACC.
