Children on Campus Policy
Olympic College recognizes that children often appropriately accompany adults during visits
to campus. Got the purpose of this policy, a child is defined as a person who has not reached
their sixteenth (16th) birthday and is not enrolled as an Olympic College student. Children,
however, need at all times to be under the supervision of their parent(s)/ designated guardian.
It is inappropriate for a parent to ask a member of the college community to assume
supervision, unless he or she is leaving the child in a college program sanctioned for children
as defined in this policy. This policy pertains to all employees and persons who visit the
college, participate in classes, and/or programs, events or other activities.

Inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of
the date the college receives a request for access.
The student should submit
a written request to the Registrar identifying the record(s) they wish to
inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the
student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
2.)
Request the amendment of the student's education records that the
student believes are inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of
the student's privacy or other rights.
To request amendment, students
should write the Registrar, clearly identify the part of the record they wish
changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College decides
not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify
the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to an
appeal regarding the request for amendment and include additional
information regarding the appeal procedures.
