Student Bill of Rights
In order that we, the students of the Mt. San Antonio College District, be accorded the same rights guaranteed to all United States citizens by documents basic to our national government, the Student Bill of Rights has been designed to specifically address the academic environment.
College students enjoy specific student rights along with the responsibility of upholding specific student responsibilities as well. Implicit in this policy is the belief that both rights and responsibilities will be assumed appropriately by all members of the academic community - students, faculty, administrators, classified staff and trustees. The following categories are covered in the Student Bill of Rights. Detailed information can be obtained in the Student Life Office, Building 9C.
