The appendix contains a description of the student-faculty disciplinary committee,
as well as definitions of behaviors that are considered primary or secondary
offenses. A single violation of any primary offense or repeated violations
of a secondary offense could result in referral to the student-faculty disciplinary
committee. Any student or employee of the college can refer student
conduct violations to the chairperson of the student-faculty disciplinary committee.
Student conduct cases of an unusual or emergency nature can be referred
to the dean of student development, the evening and weekend administrator
or the vice president for academic and student affairs when immediate
action is deemed necessary. All other cases are handled by committee
hearings.
Student Records
The registrar’s office maintains a record on each credit student that includes
the student's application form, any high school or college transcripts, a Wor-
Wic transcript, current enrollment status and a record of disciplinary action,
if applicable. In addition to student records maintained by the registrar’s office,
the business office maintains student financial payment records, and the
nursing and radiologic technology department heads maintain the clinical
evaluation records of their students. The continuing education and workforce
development division maintains course records that contain information on
continuing education students.
Certain information is considered public and is provided to any individual
who makes a request for the information, unless the student submits a written
request for the information to be withheld. This information includes, but
is not limited to, the student’s name, photo ID, whether or not an individual
has ever attended Wor-Wic, the dates of the student's attendance, city of residence,
dean’s list honors, major, any degree received and date of graduation.
A student’s date of birth, last address and/or telephone number are verified
by the college if the correct date, address and phone number are provided by
the requester. Lists of graduates and dean’s list students with city or town of
residence are also routinely released to the news media. A student who would
like to prevent the release of such information must submit a written request
to the dean of student development or the dean of continuing education and
workforce development before the end of the first week of class. Official semester
enrollment verifications cannot be processed until after the last day
for dropping classes for the semester since the student’s enrollment status is
not official until the end of the schedule adjustment period.
