legal counsel is contacted to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.<br />

The Disabilities Coordinator is based out of the Claremont campus, but spends one day per<br />

month at the KAC and meets with students at the LAC by appointment. She is also<br />

accessible by phone and email. Disability services are explained on the college website in<br />

addition to the full application packet that each student is provided upon making a request<br />

All students have access to multiple modes of tutoring including peer-tutoring, faculty<br />

tutoring, master tutoring, and Smarthinking Online Tutoring which is embedded in Canvas<br />

and available to students at no extra charge. In the Fall of 2017, with the advent of the<br />

math co-requisite model, drop-in math tutoring was implemented. Drop-in math tutoring is<br />

available to students at all three locations, and the Science department offers “Open Lab<br />

Sessions” for students in all science courses. Non-math related tutoring is available to all<br />

students by appointment.<br />

All students have access to the library via remote access through their Easy Log-In.<br />

Students can access the Library Catalog, as well as all electronic journal resources twentyfour<br />

hours a day, seven days a week. Library service information is found in the College<br />

Catalog (pg. 16) and in the Student Handbook (pg. 15).<br />

The College follows its non-discrimination policy in all dealings with students. The nondiscrimination<br />

policy is located on the website and in the Student Handbook and focuses<br />

on providing a community atmosphere grounded in mutual respect, dignity, and integrity;<br />

while prohibiting any discrimination as defined under applicable law.<br />

The College website provides information on all college services available to students.<br />

During New Student Orientation students are provided information on Safety, Student<br />

Handbook policies and content, RAVE (electronic alert system for school closure and delays<br />

or other emergencies on campus), Student Support Services, Career Services, Financial<br />

Aid, the Bookstore, Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society,<br />

Library Resources and Canvas. At Orientation, students are also introduced to<br />

expectations of the classroom, expectations of behaviors as students, and an orientation to<br />

course syllabi. Many programs also hold individual program orientations or information<br />

sessions to alert students to program-specific policies. All students at Orientation are<br />

shown to the college website as well with directions on how to find out more information<br />

about the topics listed above. Orientations take place at Claremont and Keene.<br />

<strong>RVCC</strong> has a number of clearly identified and published ethical standards which guides all<br />

aspects of student services. These policies are identified in the Student Handbook (page<br />

30-34) and via CCSNH BoT Policies.<br />
