Students with Disabilities Policy
Olympic College is committed to providing qualified students with a disability an equal
opportunity to access the benefits, rights, and privileges of college services, programs,
and activities. For those who qualify, all services, programs, and activities provided shall
comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973. A qualified individual with a disability is one who meets the essential
eligibility requirements for the receipt of services or for participation in programs and/or
activities.
Olympic College will make those modifications to its programs and services that (1) are
necessary to ensure that qualified students are not discriminated against on the basis of
disability and (2) do not impose an undue burden on the College or require a fundamental
alteration of essential program requirements.
The faculty, staff, administrators, and students of Olympic College recognize and accept
their responsibilities to students with disabilities in compliance with state and federal
mandates. Beyond these legal responsibilities, however, the college community seeks to
foster an environment that welcomes and fully integrates persons with disabilities. The
President of Olympic College assigns authority to the Office of Access Services for
reviewing student documentation and determining what, if any, accommodations will be
provided by the College to ensure equal access for all students. For view of full policy,

STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
WAC 132C-120
Revised and approved and adopted by the Olympic College Board of Trustees on 4/26/05.
WAC 132C-120-010 Preamble.
Olympic College, as a state supported institution of higher education, has a mission of
providing excellence of instruction, responsiveness to community and individual needs,
and open communication in a collegiate atmosphere to citizens of Kitsap and Mason
counties. Sharing responsibility for this common mission, students and college personnel
are joined in a voluntary college community.
Olympic College students are both citizens and members of the college community. As
citizens, students shall enjoy the same freedoms that other citizens enjoy. As members of
the college community, they are subject to those responsibilities which accrue to them by
virtue of this membership.
Admission to Olympic College carries with it the expectation that students will conduct
themselves as responsible members of the college community, that they will comply with
established rules and regulations of the college, maintain high standards of honesty and
integrity, and respect the rights, privileges, and property of other members of the college
community.
Olympic College expects that students will conform to the laws of the greater society and
regulations established to assure the orderly conduct of the affairs of the college.
The student is at once a member of the community at large and the college community. As
such, the student is subject to the rights, responsibilities, laws, and regulations of each
community and accountable to both.
To accomplish these purposes the college is governed by rules, regulations, and procedures
designed to safeguard its functions and protect the rights and freedoms of all members of
the college community.
