Description of Change
Policy Statement
The CCS and the Global Student Services Office recognize students’ developing independence, responsibility and accountability. However, the GSSO has the authority and reserves the right to notify parents in the following circumstances and conditions:
Emergencies:
The College reserves the right to notify parents or guardians, regardless of age, status, or conduct, in health and safety emergencies, hospitalizations, or when in our judgment, the health or well-being of a student or others is or may be at risk.
Student Conduct:
The College reserves the right to inform parents or guardians of a student when:
That student’s behavior has been the cause of a disturbance to others on or off campus
That student’s behavior has been the cause of a disruption of other students’ education
That student’s behavior caused or had the potential to cause harm to persons or property
That student’s behavior led to an arrest in which the student was taken into custody
That student’s behavior resulted or could have resulted in the student being removed from study abroad program
That student’s behavior affected his/her/their ability to fulfill the essential functions of a student
The student has demonstrated a pattern of unacceptable disruptive behavior, even if these incidents are minor
The student has become physically ill and/or required medical intervention as a result of use/abuse of alcohol and/or drugs
Whenever possible, students will be informed that a parental notification is planned so that they have an opportunity to discuss the issue with their parents directly.
Reason for Policy
This policy outlines when CCS may contact parent/guardian/emergency contact of a student when they are on a study abroad trip – either independently or faculty led.
