Initial Date of Approval: 1/30/09

Revision Date(s): 

Administrative Responsibility: President

PURPOSE

The purpose of public information is to communicate information about Skagit Valley College programs, events, and offerings to the public, in a timely manner and in a variety of media.

POLICY

Every effort will be made to assure the accuracy of the information contained in all media information produced by the college for public use and subject to change without notice. 

The college’s total liability for student claims related to classes or programs shall be limited to the tuition and expenses paid by the student to the college for those classes. In no event shall the college be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to, loss of earnings or profits. 

PROCEDURES

Skagit Valley College catalogs, class schedules, web site, fee schedules, etc., do not create binding contracts between Skagit Valley College and its students. The college and its divisions reserve the right at any time to make changes in any regulations or requirements governing instruction in and graduation from the college and its various divisions. Changes shall take effect whenever the proper authorities determine and shall apply not only to prospective students but also to those who are currently enrolled at the college. Except as other conditions dictate, the college will make every reasonable effort to ensure that students currently enrolled in programs, and making normal progress toward completion of any requirements, will have the opportunity to complete any program which is to be discontinued.

Students are advised, however, that such information is subject to change without notice, and advisors should, therefore, be consulted on a regular basis for current information.

The approved limitation of liability statement regarding programs, academic policies, and schedules shall appear on the college website, Quarterly Schedules and the Catalog.
