HAZARDOUS WASTE & CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
Some classes, such as chemistry and physics, may present the possibility for exposure to substances which have the potential for health hazards. Faculty teaching such a class will include in the class syllabus specific information pertaining to potential exposure and appropriate safety information will be presented to reduce the risk.
Any persons present near chemicals (including hazardous waste) should realize that they are voluntarily exposing themselves to these substances. Precautions, such as changing routes so as not to pass near the hazardous exposure areas or delaying enrolling or not enrolling in a class, may be necessary. These precautions are especially important for people with sensitive medical conditions which could make exposure to the substance mentioned above especially dangerous. In particular, women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy should avoid exposure.
Any time the potential exists for exposure to substances, protective clothing will be required.
MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES READMISSION &
REFUND POLICY
Students who serve in the National Guard, Reserves, or Active Duty stationed locally who are ordered into active military service in the Armed Forces of the United States or who are requested to work for the federal or state government during a national emergency, limited national emergency, or state emergency are provided priority readmission upon their return. Individuals in these circumstances will be eligible for 100% refund of tuition and fees for the current term.
Students who are forced to withdraw from classes due to the activation of a close family member (father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, spouse or life-partner) are provided priority readmission upon their return. Individuals in these circumstances will be eligible to submit a refund appeal request citing military activation as the extenuating circumstance. This appeal, if granted, may result in a 100% refund of tuition and fees.
Individuals seeking a refund of tuition and fees are required to provide a copy of the activation orders to the campus Registrar.
Students who choose to stay enrolled and/or complete their coursework may do so in consultation and with permission from their instructor(s).
MINORS ON CAMPUS POLICY
The scope of this policy includes minors on campus who are either unaccompanied or accompanied by an adult. This policy does not include minors on campus who are participating in an educational offering or course/program-related needs. This policy does not apply to the Lakeshore’s Child Care Center.
Minors on campus in general
To protect the safety of minor visitors and to avoid disruptive behavior, minors accompanying employees, students, or visitors must be under the constant supervision of their responsible adult while on college property or on the site of any approved off-campus class or other college events. Employees of the College cannot take supervisory responsibility for any unattended minors. Minors are not permitted to be left unattended in any College facility at any time or left alone with an adult that has not accompanied the minor to campus.
The College assumes no responsibility or liability for minors on College property or on the site of any approved off- campus class or other college events, nor for any accidents or injuries to minors occurring on College property. Employees, students, or visitors who bring minors to the College are responsible for all aspects of the minor’s behavior, including the minor’s safety, and are financially responsible for any damages caused by the minor.
Minors are encouraged to come to campus for college-sanctioned activities specifically scheduled and designed for their benefit.
