Rights of Privacy and Access for Students
The responsibilities of the student include regular attendance, conscientious effort in college work, and conformity to College rules and regulations. Most of all students share with the administration, faculty, and staff a responsibility to develop a climate within the College that is conducive to wholesome learning and living.

No student has the right to interfere with the education of his/her fellow students. It is the responsibility of each student to respect the rights of all who are involved in the educational process. Students should express their ideas and opinions in a respectful manner so as not to offend or slander others.

Other responsibilities are:
1. Be aware of all rules and regulations for student behavior and conduct oneself in accordance with them.
2. Be willing to volunteer information in disciplinary cases and cooperate with the College staff should one have knowledge of importance in relation to such cases.
3. Dress and groom so as to meet standards of decency.
4. Understand that until a rule is waived, altered, or repealed, it is in full effect.
5. Assist College staff in operating a safe environment for all students.
6. Be aware of and comply with the Federal, state and local laws.
7. Protect and care for the College’s property.
8. Attend classes daily, except when excused.

The student’s rights are:
1. The right to see all records, including grades, and to retain tests, papers, and work he/she has completed for a specific course.
2. The right to privacy.
3.  The right to live in an atmosphere conducive to studying and learning.
4. The right to a hearing, formal or informal, prior to loss of College services.
5. The right to file a grievance or appeal.
6.  The right to an education free of ridicule or harassment by any member of the Stevens community.
7. Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is committed to the principles of free speech and free expression; yet, just as the American people often must subordinate free speech and free expression to the common good, whether voluntarily or legally, the members of the College community have such a responsibility.
